How to Change Yarns Without Having To Weave In Ends

[@marciamcguire6501]

I Miss you, Bjorn ! It is wonderful to have these great tutorials ever stored on you tube. Hope you are doing well . All the best, marcia

[@22SeaJay]

I'm glad this was recommended to me - you are the Bob Ross of knitting: your voice is so calming, thank you!

[@SkeinoYarn]

Oh thank you!

[@pjd2709]

I join my yarns this way all the time, it's the best way to join your yarns together, have done this for years. Thanks for sharing.

[@dianeharrington1103]

Never saw that type of joining I’m not new to knitting started when I was 5 years old and am now78 so much fun lol to learn thank u

[@iluminameluna]

YOU are my GURU. I have been crocheting consistently and reading EVERYTHING I could, online and in hard copy, since 2012, and I've even found information elsewhere about this so-called Russian join. But NOWHERE had I seen ANYONE'S perfect demonstration like yours. I'd read descriptions, seen videos even. But no one had EVER done it just like THAT. Why?! SO simple, it's genius. I'm sharing this video.

[@winniecheung9019]

This is the best way of joining the yarns. Your instruction is very clear. You did a good job. Thank you so much.

[@AngelaKindness]

Finally an easy to understand and easy on the ears tutorial, thank you! I crochet as a kind of rhythm nice and stress free .

[@SkeinoYarn]

You’re welcome 😊

[@TheBelka453]

Hi love the way you teach. I’ve learned many things from you including perfect edge , joining yarn etc. My best teacher, and my refined combination knitting. Thank you so much and still learning from you. Love you

[@SkeinoYarn]

You are so welcome!

[@jude1515]

Very good. I have been knitting for years but have never learned this trick. Thank you.

[@aquilaclark814]

I’m glad I found your channel I’ve never heard of Johnny the new yarn in this way this is totally new to me I’ve been knitting for 58 years..It was a requirement to get out of the fourth grade in Indianapolis Indiana ..I will always treasure my fourth grade teacher..I had to learn how to darn holes in socks over a lightvbulb ..and also how to crochet..🙋🏿‍♀️🙋🏿‍♀️..I have carried these skills with me for 58 years🥰..

[@kimberlycabanas2496]

This video is the best thing that's happened to me today. Thanks for the trick. That's going to make my handiwork SO much neater.

[@chileanchinch]

What a cool trick ! Thank you for showing us. Nice to see another continental knitter

[@sabinejordan3110]

I love this, thanks for the tip. Says the last stitch is being slipped knit-wise, but each and every time, it's actually being slipped purl-wise (but with YIB).

[@peachy75019]

Yep, I noticed that too. All slipped stitches are slipped purlwise ... some with yarn in front and some with yarn in back.

[@definitely_summer]

OMG I just realized that after I read your comment! Still--I prefer that slipped stitch look, whichever way it was slipped! Such a smooth edge! (:

[@luisak68]

hi Bjorn. hi all I love all your colours & designs. thank you. I just wanted to share that I had tremors. Mine got bad & I suffered in silence till they became really noticeable. Then I got help. 2 little tablets morning & night solved the problem in no time at all. Quick, easy & painless treatment. So talk to your doctors. So, If you know someone suffering in silence, please let them know how easy & painless treatment is.. Life can be challenging. No need to make it frustrating aswell & loose the joys there is to be had. I just hope Ive helped someone today. ;) Knit on people!

[@jaishivshanker]

It's really clever thank you for the demonstration. I don't understand why there are so many thumbs down?

[@catherinefox7832]

Because people are not nice ignore them, they are unhappy bitter insecure idiots. His video is lovely 😊

[@joanahope3013]

half of the people wanted to thumb up but got confused with the buttons, the other half were sad because they wanted to see more and the video ended... Please be nice to people and don't call them names...you only make yourself look bad. Have a nice day!

[@IchBinCasie]

I adore your videos! I'm a beginner knitter and I really enjoy watching your videos to learn new tricks! You make it so easy to follow along and your voice is so calming and soothing! I'm one happy subscriber!

[@dianne71047]

WOW! You are amazing! I need to try that trick. I wish I could figure out how you hold and work your needles. I am left handed and can't even imagine how you do it. Long ago at a Sons of Norway event I watched a lovely woman knitting just as you do. Her needles hardly moved and she didn't have to "loop" the thread onto the needle the way I do. I always look like I'm tossing a salad. THANK YOU for your wonderful tutorial videos!

[@agnishikhasen3746]

You've hilarious put this into words..tossing salad lol. Lol.

[@karenhanna2406]

Look up European style knitting

[@myrtoh.964]

if you are left handed try changing the URL from "youtube" to "mirrorthevideo". Change only the part that says "youtube" and keep the rest the same. Mirrors any video! That's how I watch all tutorials

[@Val.Kyrie.]

I used to knit english, and made myself learn continental. It took a lot of work and I went slow but I did it and now I can knit way faster and even without looking sometimes. It's totally worth learning.

[@yafafarahdel4229]

Have learned quite a bit from your knowledge. You tutorials are great! Pls keep them coming. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@GaminGawdess]

The yarn blending tip....magical and amazing. You are the Zeus of yarn tips. :)

[@janisford1724]

So glad I found your video. I will use your yarn color changing technique to knit scarves for my family for next winter. Just two colors. Very neat rather than cutting and weaving in the ends. I didn’t want to do several rows of each color. I like changing colors more frequently. And I will just be knitting back and forth. Kiitos/thank you (Finnish). My maternal grandparents came to America from Finland. 😄

[@prachihingorani1136]

That’s so smart & clean. Love the idea 🆒 I don’t knit but I’ll definetly try this in crochet & I’ll keep you posted. I usually do the Russian join but this is brilliant for changing colours at the end of the rows.

[@SkeinoYarn]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@Cynthialazraki]

Thanks for sharing your amazing way of weaving the yarn. You knit like I learned from grandma... it's so much easier,Looking forward your knitting lessons

[@beverlyfoye4658]

Your explanations and pronunciation are so precise and your knitting is incredibly demonstrative. I have subscribed and now am rushing off to pick up a garment that I had put aside - ends everywhere, but no more!

[@patriciachianelli7507]

Excellent tutorial. Always ready to learn a new and better way.🤗

[@Lacrimosemo]

Men. you are AMAZING, thanks for your videos. I am a guy who knits socks but I love to knit everything...

[@tamaubuchon561]

Glad to see you doing the "Knit Picking" method of knitting. I've done knit picking for 35 yrs now, but I hold my working yarn over my first finger & right NEXT to the needle, semi snuggly. I can knit 2 times faster than your long strand of yarn. It's so fast & produces PERFECTLY formed knit sts. (Also I do PURL sts with knit picking, but I do the first finger drop down method.) (I saw a LYS owner knit picking at her work table 35 yrs ago in her shop. I asked WHAT was she doing, and she said "Knit Picking...." I asked her if she'd show ME how to do it, and she said "Buy a yarn to use in my shop, & I'll show you." ) Well, I grabbed the 1st yarn in sight & sat down at her table! She showed me the technique, (& 2 ways to purl sts.) I went home to practice, and practice the method until I GOT IT! I was SO excited! I EVEN went back to Helen's shop the next day & bought some expensive Irish Wool to knit my husband a complicated, cable knit sweater for the VERY chilly & damp winters of WA state! He loved it, and "I" LOVED Knit Picking! I knit ALL perfectly formed, uniform sts "every" time I knit! It produces a fabric that looks like it was MACHINE Knit! I even became a Certified, Licensed Knitting Instructor for Craft Yarn Council of America, with 2 FULL days of intense training! Then, a few months later, the crochet class was offered in our area as well. I took that class too, & became licensed to teach it as well. I teach at Michael's, in my home, and Joann's has asked me to give them my contact information for future classes. I learned to crochet at "6" yrs old, and knit at 9, thanks to my 2 very loving, patient grandmothers!. I'm SO grateful for THEIR love and patience in teaching such a young student the skills. Thank you for your post. That's the way I do it too, nice & neat, no waffely edges.

A very nice and good looking mature man. Bjorn looks like he still has some good years left in him. lol

[@evzworld]

your work is so beautiful. I can only hope to become as skilled. your videos are really detailed and I can see every step you make. other videos are sometimes blurry are so much going on in the back ground you can't see the stitching. thank you

[@SkeinoYarn]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@norahmcphee4928]

Thank you so much flower for showing a few different top tips that make the biggest difference to the end result. Love from Scotland

[@daphnedolan5858]

Thank you so much for the video. It was very enjoyable to hear the instructions. Lovely colors. Cheers

[@CreatiKnit]

I liked how you explained how to do this! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! 😃

[@carolinejackson7933]

This is a great tutorial. Thank you from the US. 🌸

[@SkeinoYarn]

You’re welcome 😊

[@iluminameluna]

Para los que quieren aprender a tejer, que tomen nota. Éste señor es un Maestro. Su demostración de una unión Rusa de cómo se unen dos hilos de lana no pueden ser más clara. Lo digo porque llevo desde el 2012, y es 2017!, y hasta hoy logro ver éste y nunca había logrado ver uno que pudiera entender. Yo no tejo, hago solamente crochet. Pero llevo un GRAN entusiasmo por aprender hacerlo. Tal vez éste año lo logro si se me desentumecen las manos suficiente! Y NO me digan nadita de fe, señores!! Por favor!!!

[@ameliasalas9161]

THANK you ,WONDERFUL tutorial The best thing that I could learn ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SkeinoYarn]

Happy to hear that!

[@sandraverrender5282]

[@knit1purl1]

This is the way my mother taught me to knit but she said I turned it around and I throw my yarn. I could never do it this way.

[@christythomas7856]

great lessons on seamlessly changing colors and a clean wrap & turn - thank you!

[@lilladevihargoon9078]

Thank you for this tutorial. It was very helpful.Much appreciated.

[@SkeinoYarn]

[@Unhappy700]

Great way to weave in the different color yarn

[@airesalley57]

I could use this join technique in colourway knitting. Thank you so much.

[@The-Cute-One]

you're a rock star ! I, absolutely love watching your tutorials...so informative & great helpful hints & techniques. Thank - you.

[@just-jessica8469]

I use this method now every time and i love it! Genius

[@idaliacepeda5844]

You are an awesome teacher! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@Thecanadianwitch]

that's a brilliant way to get the new color in, great idea that i'll have to try

[@donnao2948]

Thank you so much for this video. I have given up many a project because of discouragement with untidy looking ends at color changes.

[@autumn1955]

This video was very informative. Great instructor. I learned a lot and will put it into practice. Thank you.

[@memesmith0811]

very well done and explained I will try this next time I knit and will try similiar when I crochet to see how that works too

[@ritatannehill7487]

I am thinking this will not work for acrylic yarns which I have more access to Here is Georgia in the US I don’t have local access to much beautiful wool yarns but I do order from several people around the country I do like your technique for joining - will try

[@esthertitchen4853]

This is fascinating have not seen before but look forward to trying great explanation and advice

[@annaliliana7863]

this is really different ,I love it

[@josemejia2086]

Very useful video. Do you have another one where we can learn how to do the borders of the first shawl?

[@SkeinoYarn]

The shawl pattern show is Nohea. It is available on our website and has instructions for the border. There is a tutorial available for picking up the stitches here... kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5zFmZSXZsSnias

[@clairebacchi360]

Very clever! ❤️ your yarn. I think I bought some awhile back for a project that I never started. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@beochnklutzknittingncroche6724]

Thank you very much for showing us how to make a cleaner fastening with yarn!

Absolutely fascinating you are hipnotic to watch. Thank You.

[@honeyk7119]

Very well explained also Very nice color combinations!

[@pratyt5079]

Thank you so much for your video, great idea for combining the yarns. I really love the shawl but do not knit...I crochet. Do you have a pattern for the shawl in crochet?

[@hamidehorra4849]

Wow! Your work is so neat. Thank you.

[@monopinion8799]

?excellent work,,,You are a master of the woodland kneedle

[@DonnaAskins]

This is great -- many thanks! No more knots for me!

[@traceyosterlind14]

Thank you for a lovely tutorial!

[@SkeinoYarn]

Thanks for watching!

[@MissPernickety]

This joint is fab for this particular yarn, where it is like a pipe, but can it be done with normal twisted yarns, or the chain stitch yarns that are on the market?

[@SkeinoYarn]

Yes, a similar join for twisted wool yarns is a Russian Join.

[@ooohlaa13]

I love to refine my knitting style and this helps so much, thank you. Liked and subbed.

[@Oldorcuttyarnery]

Why are you knitting the first stitch through the back leg, and then the rest through the front leg? Thank you for the video!

[@kmariejs]

Lisa Long See his video "Knitting Perfect Edges" from Aug. 9, 2016. It's explained there.

[@monaosama2373]

amaizing... i am from egypt ...i liked your video so much..😊

[@melindahuntley9873]

excellent video can you do this with any yarn?

[@SkeinoYarn]

It works best with the I-cord style yarns. For a similar technique for standard wool yarns try a Russian Join.

[@ooohlaa13]

very nice ... so is there a way to do this with most any yarn or does it have to be a tubular type with a hollow interior?

[@auntiebagel4788]

How brilliant you are! I can hardly wait to try out this new trick with the hidden ends. Do you suppose this could work for crocheting as well? Other than needing to be gentle as you work that part of the joining, I don't see why it couldn't work. Thank you sooo much. Now I won't mind joining squares and changing colors often . Happy new year to you and yours and thank you for sharing your idea and your time with us!

[@msareli1]

Thank you, I love your tutorials.

[@karenhocker2641]

[@teresaolofson1377]

Warm Hello Knitting Angel :) Bjarne (did i spell that right?) are you Danish? So excited about using icord yarn for this magical way to join yarn you found out about and so graciously shared with us all thank you so much :) What do i do if i am using a cotton or linen yarn that is not icord piping ? So Kindly Thank you! I'd love to ask you all my Knitting Questions :) Take Good CARE MUCH WARMTH! T

[@iluminameluna]

Actually, it's not a specifically icord yarn you need to use. It's ANY braided cord type yarn, usually done by machine and NOT by hand, that works for this type of join. Elsewhere you'll find it called a Russian join, known in crochet and knit circles for a good while, just that he's shown it SO well! It's AMAZING!! Try it with some wool yarn and you'll see. Works best with organic (meaning animal or natural) yarns, not so much with synthetic ones like acrylic. Happy knitting and hooking!!

Very informative tutorial. Thank you for sharing.

[@chuongmadore5844]

You are very smart! Thank you for sharing.

[@mauramcfall9289]

Thank you so much for this tutorial - really interesting and so nice to listen to your voice. The yarn you use is beautiful but as a beginner I purchased a lot of cheaper acrylic yarn and now I am trying to work my way through it. Can I use this method on acrylic mix yarns or does it only work on the more natural yarns. Thank you.

[@definitely_summer]

YES it works with most yarns. Use a longer length in the joined area. Acrylic won't grip permanently to itself the way a wool will. Try making a join with 3-4" of each yarn, or even longer. Very floppy yarns with loose twists don't join well, BTW. I've had success with Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Red Heart, and Caron yarns. Trim the ends of the yarn before you pull them together! The frayed bits won't mesh into the rest the way this nice wool knits into itself. :)

[@dianazung135]

A smart idea. I used to spend so much time and effort to weave in the ends after completion of the knitting project. It looked so ugly compare to this method. Thanks.

[@Bomber411]

Well, I've been knitting (mostly dishcloths, a few scarves, at beginner level) for nearly 35 years (I'm 40 and learned by watching my mom), wish I'd learned how to knit this way, it seems so much faster and easier than the way I knit! Before I start trying to learn all the rest of the magic in this video, I'm going to see about learning how to knit with your style. Does anyone know what this is called? Not the pattern, but the actual way this person is holding the yarn and basic knitting? Lol wonder about purling this way?? Maybe I need to just go to your channel. Thanks so much for the inspiration!!!

[@Danielle-zq7kb]

[@reiko838]

I was curious as a beginner knitter. Can this be done with any type of yarn? I'm using a Wool of the Andes yarn (100% wool) right now. I'm knitting a scarf that requires a lot of changing colors at beginning of row. It would be great to be able to do this.

[@nancydallison2088]

the best knitting !!

[@Keep-praying]

Do you have a link to the pattern of the second shawl?
