How to Join Jumbo Yarns

[@Dragonflies08]

Here I am two years after your video and thankful to have found this information. So...I just (at the age of 74) have been learning to crochet via the tube of you. My daughter bought me the first ball of this large Bernat to make a blanket for her sister, my youngest daughter. My oldest daughter who is a wonderful crocheter left this up to me! I followed the directions on the label saying to loosely chain 110....ONE HUNDRED AND TEN...uh, wrong! My daughter found the corrections on the Bernat website to loosely chain 29 stitches...after I had chained the 110. You guessed it, it went back into the ball shape and I started all over again. I finished the first ball, just acquired the second one and I thought "how do I join the new end?" I searched and found your tutorial. THANK YOU! *Even if it is two years later, it's a valuable video!!!!

I'm so glad it helped - but so sorry to hear about that typo!!

Just finished a big knit blanket and was wondering how to weave in the end after binding off. So glad I came across your video. I’m definitely going to sew all the yarn joins and the first and last stitches. Thank you!

[@tammyallen1125]

I'm definitely going to use these technique. It's so much neater than tying a bulky knot. Thanks!

[@newadventure57167]

Tamara!!! Thank you!! You're a lifesaver!!! I've never worked with this kind of yarn before and I just got an order for a blanket. What an adventure!! This stuff is huge! And the blanket has to be 5" x 6"! I didn't know how to join the next skein so I searched KZbin. This looks like it will work!!! Thanks so much again!

[@moretimesless]

Ohhhhhhhhhh who knew to sew it. You have a great voice and manner also. Thank You!

[@leesakrall6592]

Yeah! About 2 years ago, I tried an online yarn made the same way but it was a #5. Everything you've said is true! The only way I could bury the starter strand to the end strand was to sew them into the yarn. Though I've never had to connect the yarn together.

[@katecurrah9354]

I learned an old trick years ago. I undo the strands about an inch or so on BOTH sides. Then I weave them into one another... I'm all in to learn a new method by our Tamara!

Been following you for years now and always enjoy your videos. I’ve never even seen a yarn that thick let alone used one, I live in rural Australia, the closest decent yarn shop is many hours away. So the internet is marvellous. Your video on foundation stitches was the only one I could follow. I’ve got one of those metal needle threaders with the loop. I’ve had it for ever and ever and it’s great. Simple but effectiveThanks for all you do. ♥️🇦🇺🌈

[@jesseemckenney8770]

Thank you! I just got started finger knitting blankets and this was super helpful. Your nails are pretty and you were fun to listen to. 😊

[@mooglyblog]

Thank you so much!!

[@howelldien4965]

I'm about to make my second blanket with this giant yarn. I'm so tired of reweaving the ends in the first one this is so helpful

[@marykloote9351]

Thank you SO much for this tutorial! Bernat Blanket is my absolute favorite yarn to work with, but I've only been using it for amigurumi lately, because, like you said, when making a blanket and try to weave in the ends, they find their way out, and you have little curls of yarn on what's supposed to be your beautiful creation.

[@AnonymousAmyMakes]

Thank you for this! I've never really worked with this yarn making anything bigger than projects using one skein because I didn't know how to deal with this.

[@dlee4032]

Hi I also do this as you are doing when joining my next ball of yarn and at the end I like to add a ring of blanket stitch for extra strength.Regards Dee from Warwickshire

[@misstigerrose]

Thank you for this. I'm using Bernat Plush Big yarn and I had no idea how i might join it without a giant knot

[@tammcat]

I just made a blanket for my son and used this yarn. I actually used the magic knot for the ends, worked perfectly.

[@riyahshah3340]

I actually saw someone slightly burn the end with a lighter and then attach it to the new skein. Just tried it and it worked! Seems pretty secure. Hope it stays strong!

[@angelapa9513]

Your tips are so helpful . Your video on the pompadoodle carpet helped me so much too.

[@CrunchyMom88]

I'm trying to figure out how to join Turin yarn. Though it's a lot smaller than this yarn you've used to demo, it's super dense and there's no way I'm going to knot it to join. I'm very glad to have found this video because I'm going to be sewing these ends! Thanks so much!!

[@katecurrah9354]

I love the sewing method, I'll definitely try this out, thanks Tamara!

[@deborahperry3449]

Could you use clear light weight fishing line? I think it would be stronger and practically invisible.

[@mooglyblog]

I think so, I would just try it on a scrap first to make sure it doesn't feel odd!

[@annettepeters8890]

Thanks for sharing I'm doing a project and was in a quandary as to how to join the yarn ,

[@kimberlyjweinert2422]

I need some help with crocheting a double crochet stitch ...thank you in advance! One part of my yarn over in the double crochet is to loose how can I fix tha?! It really is every stitch.

[@mooglyblog]

Hi Kimberly! One thing that can help is to try to keep the loops on your hook closer together, not letting them spread up the hook. :)

[@noreenflynn204]

Thanks so much for these tips! I'm new to crochet so love learning how to make it more enjoyable 😉 xx

[@clarissemesina912]

hello ,im.from philippines,working in hk,i.loved crochet ,i used my free time to do some crochet stitches.thanks for teaching some.of technique.

[@knitcreativity8019]

Thank you for all your hard work. Its helped with a lot of projects.

[@tammylauber4224]

Thank you Tamara!! This amazing!! I love this wonderful solution!! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@kathywelch8722]

That was so helpful. Thank you so much for demonstrating this technique. 💜

[@dinosrawr13]

Can this work with the bernet blanket yarn that takes 15 mm hook? And is this a good technique? It's for an amigurumi

[@mooglyblog]

I haven't tried it, but I would think so! Otherwise, with that one you can weave in your ends a bit easier!

[@dinosrawr13]

@@mooglyblog thank you!! I will try it and see. It is the same yarn just a bit smaller

[@MikeySocks]

Hi. Great technique. Just a question. Are you putting the needle through the center core or just through the yarn in any spot ? Thanks

[@mooglyblog]

It's hard to get through the core, but it do try to keep my stitches close to it!

[@MikeySocks]

@@mooglyblog ok thanks

[@yogawithval]

Brilliant, thanks for the instruction. Love your channel

[@mackenzie8825]

so help full

[@crochet-a-while5926]

Thanks Tamara! Great technique.

[@kathleenkillen7820]

Well duh, such a logical solution! Thanks!!!

[@dharmarodriguez3055]

I'm using a variegated thin blanket yarn what thread should I use

[@mooglyblog]

With the thinner ones you can weave them in, just weave in a few more inches than usual! If it's thick enough to sew, you can just pick the color that you think will blend in the best.

[@girlygirllocssoul]

Thank you soooo much!!!

[@Ladyloubug9]

Thank you❤

[@suzannacornacchia8447]

Very cool. Made white yarn and colored thread to really show how you are doing this. Hard to see what you are doing.

[@lavedamcneill2252]

My yarn is several different strands wrapped together. How do I combine them 16:36

[@mooglyblog]

For that, I would leave the ends of each loose and then weave them in at the end, separating the strands for weaving!

[@christinahutchison3967]

Great tip

[@cartermorrow7337]

thank u

[@01ttingey]

Thx!!

[@bettyclaggett2011]

Hello There, I Have A Question To Ask You, Here's My Question, Is There A Way I Can Put 2 Number 6 Baby Yarn Together To Make It Thicker? Just Asking? I'd Really Appreciate It If You Could Reply Back To My Comment Please And Thank You!!!!

[@mooglyblog]

Hi Betty! Yes, you can put any yarns you like together, and just crochet with them as one strand. You will probably want to weave in their ends individually though for extra security!
