How To Join A New Ball of Pom Pom Yarn, Sheila's Knitting Tips

[@peterdoyle4530]

This is an ingenious tip on how to join the balls together.

[@cathgreenwood831]

Thanks Sheila, like you I tried knotting the yarn but wasn't successful, the length isn't long enough for a magic knot so this is the best way, thanks again 👍

[@lizkinnear8570]

Thank you Sheila, first time working with pompon yarn ❤

[@helenvaldes]

Thankyou Sheila for youre help. This is the 1st time I've knitted with this wool.

[@peachybunny2867]

You are so sweet, and thank you for the tutorial, i did a lot of blankets with this tipe of yarn but I forgot 💖

[@meljones7871]

Just found this Sheila and was wondering what to do to join...thank you so much ❤

[@MyYT62]

You are such a lovely lady and very helpful thank you Sheila xx

[@amandall3633]

Thank you. You a life saver. I made 3 of these 5 yrs ago, but I wasn't on the Internet then, so I can't remember how I joined them. I'm doing another now, and hit a join, and I'm so glad I decided to check on here. Brilliant idea. 😊💞

[@sheilasknittingtipsandothe3191]

if i used that wool again Amanda think i would have to watch my video to find out how to join it is such a long time since i did that video lol..

[@amandall3633]

Hi Sheila, thanks a mill for sharing how to do this! 😊 Is this the way to do it for changing colours too? 🤔 I wonder if you have any videos of knitting hats with pompon yarn? Thanks again 😊 ❤ Carol (Ireland 🇮🇪)

Looks good Nanna. It’s gonna be a lush scarf for winter 🤩 xxx

[@linmarchant7971]

Thanks for this. Like you, I worked it out myself then I went online to check. I really like your plain talking video- I’m a similar age and it felt you were talking to me 😁.

[@sheilasknittingtipsandothe3191]

Thank you for watching and liking Lin, nice when someone appreciates what you do 🤗

[@elainemcintyre9349]

Thank you for sharing this, it really helped me, you are a lovely lady x x ❤

[@jansmith2846]

Thank you so much for this Sheila! You're one of the few youtubers that films from above so we can actually see what you are doing. I find some film and the angle used blocks the view eg hands covering the action and some actually go out of shot right at a crucial moment!😂 only issue I had just like you took me flippin ages to thread the needle...much longer than the task itself 😄😄 Thanks again this video prompted me to subscribe 😉🤗

[@sheilasknittingtipsandothe3191]

Glad i was of help, how to film so people could see what i was doing took a bit of working out as i don't have any of that fancy equipment, just my phone, a bingo board and a cupboard above my head, lol, i have a video up where i actually show how i do it🤗

@@sheilasknittingtipsandothe3191 Thank you so much for this tip. I'm using pom pom yarn for the first time and knitting a couple of scarves. I wasn't sure how to join the yarn, your method is simple and works a treat. I have trouble threading needles so my sister bought me these, they are great and you don't have need perfect eyesight to use them. Available in different sizes. Worth a try

[@bubs6895471]

Thank you I am just about to start a pom pom baby blanket and was wondering how to join

[@sheilasknittingtipsandothe3191]

It never gets that hot here just outside Newcastle, i have my heating on tonight cause i am not very warm

[@ValmaOlsen]

Help, please, Sheila. I am struggling to find the start of the pom pom wool. Are there any tricks to help?

[@glendahumphrey4412]

Thats really pretty

[@lindacrowe7946]

Thank you, will give that a try.

[@nz-nz]

The cut ends of this yarn fray like heck! (It’s made of a chain stitch!!!). You really need to seal it with either burning slightly of a dab of glue.

[@jeannettethompson1833]

Thank you for sharing

[@peterdoyle4530]

Hi Sheila, have you knitted cardigans using this yarn and if so , how do you sew the shoulder seams together

[@sheilasknittingtipsandothe3191]

Only ever made a scarf Peter think it would be rather difficult to make anything else with it..🤗

[@marymckeown5584]

I love to try

[@susantucker4457]

Thank you really helped

[@nalinibachetta6232]

Thank you ❤

[@hauntinggoingonwithangelamylif]

That's nice very hot any ideas for double blanket or crochetng sleeping downstairs very hot x

[@sheilasknittingtipsandothe3191]

If you think it's hot Angela you would be better off with a light duvet that's what i use in the summer i have a very large crochet Blanket that i use if i need any extra warmth

[@markhull2647]

I have a question. When I cast off on Pom Pom yarn it curls up and it’s too tight no matter what I do. Is there a different way to cast off other than the normal? Thank you

[@sheilasknittingtipsandothe3191]

It's a long time since i knit with the pom pom yarn Mark and i haven't got the thing i knitted but i think i cast off with a different piece of yarn very loosely..

[@ruthdoyle3572]

Can you show us how to cast off please

[@sheilasknittingtipsandothe3191]

I don't have any pompom yarn to show how to cast off Ruth, it was my grandaughters wool when i was using it to make something for her..🤗

[@ruthdoyle3572]

@@sheilasknittingtipsandothe3191 that’s ok Sheila I managed to figure it out thank you for replying to me . and thank you for showing me how to join the yarn that was a great help .

[@jeannettethompson1833]

What is the best way to cast on please.

[@sheilasknittingtipsandothe3191]

The only way you can cast on is to use the yarn between the pompoms, cast on as you normally would just miss all the pompoms out, i used no 10 needles UK i cast on 2 sts between pompoms, i am on holiday in Corfu at the moment so cannot check on my work but hope this helps

[@Rahel8811]

Thank you

[@Ann-dg6sw]

Hello Sheila can you tell me how to cast off with the pom pom yarn, have been looking for you video on it, but can't find it anywhere, thank you 🧶Ann

[@peterdoyle4530]

I cast off using dk yarn very loosely

[@lindairvine50]

I must be unlucky I got wayyy more ad time than video.

[@MandyBroxton]
