How to Make your Fine Yarn Bulky - Loom Knitting

[@dispirited_official]

Amazing tip!! Absolute beginner here. Still have some yarn that I've got before knowing how important the yarn size is. It's way too thin to use for my next few projects. Now it's not wasted 😊

I used two balls of yarn and struggled along until I ACCIDENTALLY came upon your video. Whaaaawww that was super interesting. STRUGGLE NO MORE. I was using this method for knitting but a talented Lady had to appear from nowhere to guide me. Thanks for sharing and caring. 😀😀😀💕👍👍👍

[@onehandedcreations6364]

I have tons of yarn & was wondering how I could make it bulky. Absolutely love this!! I just finished a blanket for my niece using this hack. Thank you so much!!! ❤️

[@ScotEllison]

Wonderful!!! So much worsted to use and so much need for bulky!.. thank you. ❤❤

[@rainbowbagelz7962]

This is so helpful!! I have a client who wants VERY SPECIFIC colors and they only come in thin! This helps so much thank you!!!

[@bethhayes8807]

You made it easy.. tried another video but yours way easier! Thanks!!

[@ArtyCraftyCA]

Thank you ☺️ you just made my day!

[@risaesfahani9627]

Love this! Thank you for sharing!

[@mshube21]

Wow! Brilliant! Thank you! I bought some thin yarn because it had sparkles in it and I know someone who would just really like that, but it's so thin I wasn't sure how I could make a nice hat with it. This technique is so wonderful!

[@ArtyCraftyCA]

Thank you, Michael 😊

[@lorrainemcghee6715]

Now I know how to do this, thank you.

[@awimbley1336]

Thank you for this video. Now I have several techniques with worsted weight yarn. What would help loomers, is seeing patterns with this technique.

[@Eclecticajewels]

Thank you soooooo much for sharing! This may be a money saver. I bought Lion Brand “Shawl in a Ball” which is listed as a #4 weight to make a hat and scarf for my future daughter-in -law and when it arrived, I found it to be more of a sock yarn....more like a #2......hopefully I won’t need to buy another skein since I bought an extra one and have 3 skeins of 481 yards! The yarn is a super soft metallic ombré yarn and I just love it (I actually bought 3 skeins of 2 different colors so I could make myself a hat and scarf too. Hopefully I’ll have enough for both of us & both projects, as well. This definitely saves me from having to return my new favorite yarn!!

[@ArtyCraftyCA]

That’s great! So glad to be of help! 🤗

[@1990jol]

Thank you for showing this trick. It will help me to save more money in the future.

[@ArtyCraftyCA]

+Jolanda1990 that's the goal! Thank you so much for watching!

[@vitaminanime]

Genius hack! Thanks for sharing

[@annecain3301]

Will give it a try. I normally spin multiple yarns together to make the thickness I require as thin coned yarns besides having a lot of yardage are quite cheap to buy. Kindest regards

[@cindysmith3720]

You are SO Smart!! Thanks...

[@shirleyveale1104]

Well done. Will use this for I have a lot of thin yarns. Now I can use them. 👍🏻🌹👍🏻

[@slentz]

That's a super smart idea. Will definitely try it.

[@ArtyCraftyCA]

+susan lentz thank you! Have you tried it?

[@slentz]

Not yet. Battling knitters elbow☹.

[@char8059]

This is a great tip! It will be so much easier to use up my thinner yarn. I have lots and lots of #4 weight yarn but not a lot of chunky and thicker. It will be so nice not to struggle with two balls of yarn any longer. Is this tip also applicable for the thinner yarns such as DK, etc.? It would seem that perhaps 3 strands should be used of #3 weight yarn. What do you advise? Thank you! 🙂🧶🧶🧶🙃

[@ArtyCraftyCA]

Thanks for watching!

[@ArtyCraftyCA]

Yes, you may use this technique for thin or light yarns, such as DK. I use this technique for sizes 2, 3, even 4! Hope that helps!

[@ArtyCraftyCA]

Here’s a video where I used this technique using #4 worsted yarn: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKWrZ5KVjqyseLc

[@MelonnArt]

This is amazing thank you so much for sharing

[@therainbowzebra6556]

That s brilliant!!! Thanks 💜💜💜

[@ArtyCraftyCA]

Thanks for watching!

[@patriciarone8981]

A really cool idea I'm sure to tryout.

[@NaturalAegyo]

I would love to see how this looks after a few rows to determine if it's worth the effort.

[@ArtyCraftyCA]

Sure! I made a beanie using this trick: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKWrZ5KVjqyseLc

[@katepalmer4540]

That's genius

[@jnicolettebailey]

Really clever

[@savvy4781]

Do you know how you would go about changing colors with this method?

[@doctoroncall9814]

Genius!!

[@animelover6767]

Thank you for this! Anyone know how to change color while using this method?

[@deborahelle4801]

it’s called Navajo Plying

[@joanheglin4583]

This is so very cool‼️

[@kaotickay5987]

This is such a good idea!

[@ArtyCraftyCA]

+Kaotic Kay thank you! Please feel free to share 😊👍🏼

[@bethmccabe4493]

What about changing color?

[@korenbenjamin3839]

clever!

[@gabrielleangelica1977]

Use two different colors and just double ⏫ it!

[@latashagrandberry4293]

Great

[@ArtyCraftyCA]

Thanks!

[@margaretfletcher8769]

[@deborahtedder5395]

Thanks

[@sassegranny4700]

This video was entirely too short. There was no finish to this. how did 4 or 5 rows would have shown the outcome. But I noticed this was in 2017 and this is now January 2020.

[@ArtyCraftyCA]

Here’s a full video showing how to use three strands of yarn: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKWrZ5KVjqyseLc

[@gardengalsu]

*This is called "The Navajo Method".*

[@TheeBattyWhite]

Navajo*

[@joncampos1412]

I just knit the entire skein into an icord

[@bethmccabe4493]

The icords I've seen look like bulky braids, for lack of better word. What do you loom knit with icord?

[@thelifeofjonnelleohtv3168]

This may be helpful to someone who knows what the heck you're doing.... But to me. I'm confused... Where's the chunky yarn?

[@bethmccabe4493]

The triple thin becomes 1 chunky. It's basically like running 3 skeins at same time without all the tangle. Quite brilliant really!

[@mardo1392]

This is a waste of yarn.. 😱😱😱😱🤦
