How To Find Yarn Ends on Caron Cakes or Bernat Pop

[@jessicagamboa7106]

Thank you so much. I never had a yarn cake before. I found my end in about three seconds. You saved me from lots of tears and frustration.

[@MercuryMythbusting]

THANK YOU. The meeting fingers in the middle and grabbing yarn with index and thumb worked PERFECTLY!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you for watching! 🍂

[@sillyer2]

ur a magician and i love u, I used this on a jumbo cake from a completely different brand and it worked perfectly !

[@MeritxellFarre]

I'm using Stenliyarn Muffin yarn cakes and had no idea how to find yarn ends, I was alway getting horrendous yan barfs. Thank goodness I came across your video, you've saved my life!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi! Ohmygosh that made me laugh so hard!!! I'm so glad we could help reduce the 'barfs'!!

[@simamarcus3673]

thank you. I couldn't for the life of me find the end of my Caron one pound skein, and this video helped. It's a wider skein than in the video so I had to dig around a little and it felt weirdly veterinary, but now I can being crocheting. This video was a lifesaver.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Glad we could help! Thank you for watching 😊

[@mooseliver1772]

Thank you. I also found the end this way on lion brand comfy gotten blend. I felt sort of stupid having to watch your video to figure out how to find it, but then I realized it MUST be a common problem or else you wouldn't have made the video. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

[@kathyd7284]

Thank you sooooo much. Had no idea how to find this beginning yarn. Was actually a little ball in the middle once I had my fingers together in the middle. 😊

[@JaydaInStitches]

We're happy you found it helpful!

[@sherit8594]

You're a Life saver❣️ I'm using Mandela yarn to make a chain stitch scootie/scarf and No where on the package or any visible signs of an end peice. Once again thanks a million 💖

[@jeannie9101]

Great info, I've spent hours trying to find the ends. I'll definitely give this a try. Thank you.

[@MDunn-sm6ud]

This is great, basic information that a lot of yarn people don't know that they don't know. Thanks for being so helpful.

[@marionmorgan5972]

Sometimes when I buy the cakes, if I can't find the inside end. I simply use my ball winder and wind from the out side.( I hate yarn barf lol) If I want to start with the color that was in the middle to begin with, I just rewind it again. (Yellow in the middle becomes yellow on the out side. Rewind and the yellow will be in the middle again) . But most of the time I can find the inside end. Also if you are using a ball winder, if you put a piece of contrasting yarn on the end where you start the wind, you will be able to see it easier. Have a peaceful day.😊 everyone and stay safe. P.S. love your show.💖 stay safe, keep calm and carry on. 😄

[@doomsdayzalinsky7910]

Been crocheting most my life but until today I've rarely been successful (warm nod to RHSupersaver..I hear you) at fishing out a starting end until I've deconstructed the entire skein. Thank you so much.💜

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you for watching!

[@anitaruiz8275]

Hey Jayda, thank you so much for the information I always have a problem with ends while crocheting. My husband has to come to the rescue and untangle my yarn. Finally can try an easier way and save some time.

[@TheWendellMonster]

Anita Ruiz my husband does the same for me😊

[@JaydaInStitches]

aww! That's so sweet :)

[@nataliekostova4430]

I have a cake of completely different yarn and I found the end! THANK YOU - you've made my day!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Wonderful! We're glad we could help 😊

[@lindatreend254]

It worked, Jayda!! You're a genius. Thank you so much This is my first experience using a yarn cake. . I was so frustrated with a skein getting tangled so badly that I ended up ripping out the last round of my border and leaving the project that way cause I never wanted to see that yarn again!!

[@JaydaInStitches]

We're so glad we could help! Thank you for watching Linda :)

[@elisebb8423]

Jayda! Thank you! Thank you! I just purchased my first Caron Baby cake of yarn and with your help, I found the end almost right away!!! Yay!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Fantastic! Thank you for watching 😊

[@patricecooper8419]

I've had a cake of Mandala yarn, and the center piece popped out, and MAN I experienced quite a bit of tangles! I was up all night trying to untangle that messy yarn, while at the same time, I was frustrated with it. The next day, I was trying to work with the tangles yarn, and again, I was so frustrated to the point that I said, 'I'm done!' and ended up throwing the messy tangled part of the yarn away! I still got most of it, must when saw your nice video, that really helped--thank you so much!!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Patrice! We've all been there! How upsetting that you ended up losing so much of the yarn. I'm glad this helped, hopefully, we'll all have fewer frustratingly knotted messes in the future!

[@patricecooper8419]

Yes Ma'am! I hope that I can try to do a little better as well. Thank you again for your help!

[@Calchick7]

because of your reply I think I am going to use outside strand to start my Shawl in a Cake from Lion Brand! it is very fuzzy and I fear if I start inside I will end up in same position

[@deborah5568]

Hi Jayda, after you find the inside end, you can put that center clump of yarn in a zip lock baggie. It will keep the clump from twisting while you pull from the center. I hope that makes sense lol

[@doriwei5118]

Thanks for the info. I like companies that have left and right arrows pointing to center pull and side pull Be well ! 🦋

[@SullenAngel]

Thanks, you really helped me with the bernat baby blanket yarn I'm using to crochet a blanket. I unraveled the first ball from the outside, now the second half of my blankie should go much quicker. I'm following your corner to corner baby blanket video. I love your videos! Thank you. 😄

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi! We're so glad to hear that :) Thank you for watching!

[@juliaadages1925]

Thank you so much for instructing on how to find the ends of yarn in a skein. That's very helpful!

[@olgalang6341]

Thanks Jayda! Once again you came to my rescue!👍

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Olga! We're happy to help :)

[@thisischris5351]

Duuuude you just saved my LIFE! Thank you!

[@thelildarlings1]

Oh my goodness I love that blue Caron cakes have not seen that in Chicago stores yet. Thank you so much

[@julietait4644]

I do that with all prewound yarn, not just cakes. Means it flows at better tension and doesn't jump around, so no yarn bowl needed.

[@farren3552]

Oh my gosh, you just saved me from sooo much frustration!! Thank you!

[@JaydaInStitches]

We're so glad we could help!

[@kimarendts668]

Yay! Thank you! I was seriously on the way to making a huge tangled mess!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you for watching!

[@susannafrances7872]

yes thank you this is very helpful. this tip worked for me in the uk with a brand called. "Loren" available at Wilko's.

[@matildarei]

That’s the most gorgeous yarn!!! I can’t wait to see what you make with it!!

[@tinnashort7208]

Thank you hun.... Lol you don't have to clue how much times I've pulled the "guts" out of the middle of yarn. Most of the time I just wrap it around the skeen or roll it in a ball starting close to the skeen.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Tinna, sometimes we still end up pulling out a ton of yarn! In that case, I just try to use it up first to avoid further knots down the road!

[@chericrews7374]

Thank you. This worked like a charm. I came out with a tiny little ball out about just 4 feet. Again thanks very much

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you for watching Cheri!

[@1sloo]

Thank you! You just saved me from migraine. 😁

[@shauntelle_09]

Omg this is SO helpful! I'm starting my very first cardigan with a beautiful Caron Cotton cake and was so lost how to find the center pull! Thank you so much!

[@JaydaInStitches]

We're happy we could help!

[@paulasorrentino3266]

I have never had a problem with the Caron Cakes. And I have yet to try the Bernat Pops

[@7peacefrog]

I kind of do like you did with pulling a little pouch out of the center But I think it's funny that this is your video today, only because I have seen so many people making video's and going on a rant because they can't find the start/end, so for them and anyone that this makes annoyed Thank you and Happy crocheting!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Gosh! Well, hopefully this helps anyone who's a bit upset with their yarn!

[@Sandy42800]

Thank you so much! I’ve had some nightmare yarns that I had to unravel lol! It was probably just me getting impatient! Have a great day!

[@JaydaInStitches]

* giggle * I've been there! I once tossed a giant knotted mess onto the floor and threatened it with scissors LOL

[@brittanyking4243]

This worked like a charm. Thank you!

[@GaminGawdess]

I find untangling yarn as a form of therapy. I know it’s nuts. I place a hair clip on the end when it’s not in use so I won’t have to dig once again.

[@abbieparry2039]

I love untangling it too. Such an achievement once its done x

[@JaydaInStitches]

I totally agree, Lori! I find it sort of a Zen activity to sort through a particular big bunch of knots :)

[@melissajackson1832]

Lori Lynette i

[@abbiesmith8724]

I used to love untangling but recently I got my yarn tangled so bad it took hours. I ended up getting so frustrated lol I think I need a break from untangling

[@thelittleknitter4411]

Thank you for the tip Jayda, see you Friday🌺

[@anngutierrez5844]

Hi Jayda, always looking to see what new videos you have. I enjoyed watching this one on Caron Cakes and Bernat since I am going to make an afghan for my granddaughter. Thank you for sharing, we do appreciate them! Do you have a video on how to calculate how much yarn to purchase for a project?? I've been searching to see if their is a formula, haven't found one.. Thanks.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Ann, we're so pleased to know you're enjoying our show! Thank you for the video suggestion, we haven't covered that yet :)

[@-HalleluYAH-]

HalleluYAH!Thank you so much! I finally find the end. I was just ready to cut a strand in the middle. GOD loves you and only Jesus saves.

[@danikatx]

AWESOME! Literally found my end at the three minute mark!

[@trishh9219]

Thank you for this video. I had to do your two finger move and pinch the yarn out with my thumb. I finally found the end! Yay!!

[@sandygrogg1203]

Very helpful information., I have two Mandalas... Got into trouble with the first one... Hopefullyy, this will help me with the second Mandala..❤️❤️😎

[@born2bead]

Me too! It was a disaster :( I'm going to try this on the second one and see if it works.

[@katquiroga]

These beautiful cakes were on clearance! I got three super excited for new projects

[@JaydaInStitches]

Oooh! Clearance yarn is SO hard to pass up!

[@Bama_Tana404]

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much! I have the hardest time finding the ends of my sweet rolls this was so helpful!!!!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi! We're happy we could be helpful :) Thank you for watching!

[@MelanieCravens]

The Red Heart label thing only works if they put the label on right. I got one that was upside down.

[@darquequeen2323]

Melanie Cravens 🙁 I had that happen too. I was not happy.

[@cemwalker]

That often happens when someone in the store wants to see what the pattern on the inside looks like. Then they put it back on wrong.

[@marionmorgan5972]

I ended up having to rewind 4 of the yarn bee sugarwheels with my ball winder, because the ends were no where to be found. So I have a love/hate for these type of yarns. Beautiful yarn, but hate trying to find the ends.

[@ainsleyboyce3401]

Hi! That particular Pop is Scarlet Sizzle, the other is Pop Art. The Caron Cake is Blueberry Cheesecake :)

[@caryna.7628]

Thank you so much for this tip. I tried it and it really works well.

[@debranash8619]

Just did a blanket with sc and dc stitches looks great but the sides are not long enough how can I make sides longer to go over the bed .Do I have to go around the whole blanket or can I just start at the side ?

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Debra, the easiest way to add width and height to a blanket is by adding a border. It doesn't have to be fancy and you can add as many rows as you want or need to. I would begin by working a single crochet row around the entire blanket and then decide if you want to try a fancy stitch, use a taller stitch (like a double crochet) or just keep adding rows of single crochet. The even border around the whole blanket gives the blanket a nice frame and some added strength too :)

[@monicalozano9453]

That was so helpful, but how about for your yarn comes in hanks? How do you unwrap it to make a ball, I tried and made a big mess of the yarn. Help please! 😮

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Monica, I must admit, I don't have too many skeins that come in hanks. The odd time that I have had one, I've unwound it from the outside end and rewound it (by hand) into a ball. Doing this slowly generally keeps the tangles at bay. It's best to have it on a clear surface like a table or counter too so it's not rubbing against the carpet or tangling up with any other yarns :)

[@janiceclarke6596]

Is there only a start of yarn and end to yarn, is caron baby cakes continuous yarn

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Janice, a skein should only have 2 ends, the one on the outside and the one on the inside. Some lower quality skeins will have knots in them where the yarn has been joined to continue spinning, and really "cheap" (often mill ends) will sometimes not have knots and you might find that the skein is made up of several untied pieces, but this is fairly rare.
