Magic Yarn Ball Tutorial | Using a Magic Join | Great Way to Use Up Scrap Yarn!

[@lisasg3cell]

Love this idea to make use of swatches! I've used this knot method for joining and have noticed that if you don't tie the knots exactly like you demonstrated, they can come undone. Something about the direction of the knot can cause it to loosen instead of tighten when pulled together. Your demonstration was the easiest to follow that I've seen. Thanks!

So glad you found this tutorial helpful! I've heard of the knots coming undone for others, but fortunately they've held up pretty well for me. You might be right that it's a matter of looping the knot the wrong way!

I have been looking for this for a while. Thank you

Great tip on joining yarn and making a magic yarn ball.

[@chantaleperron]

Cool! I saw someone making a amigurumis /plushie bunny with that type of «yarn», and the result was very neat!!!Thank for the video!

[@CraftersAutonomous]

That would be sooo cute for plush animals!! I might have to try that now. 😄

I love this. I do this with my yarn. It's exciting to see what color comes up next.

I love your clever ipad stand and the magic ball.

Thank you! Are you planning to make any projects with a magic yarn ball?

[@carolynworthington8996]

I just learned the Magic Join. This would be great for practicing it!

[@CraftersAutonomous]

It's such a fun way to repurpose those leftover bits of yarn!

Love it!!!

Smart recycled materials. I use my small pieces for making random acts of crochet kindness. But I would like to make one of those bags. Namesta 🤗🐞🥰

Can't wait for the bag tutorial 😍

[@CraftersAutonomous]

Glad to hear it! I love how fun and funky it turned out.

[@nancypicklo1296]

Great idea!

[@beccaruppert9912]

I so,do that!😊 my ball is about big enough. Boy its gonna be ugly! I just keep adding to it. No matching nothing I'm sure. Lol

[@mariakristinahawl1640]

I actually take my test pieces and incorporate them into a patchwork afghan.

[@CraftersAutonomous]

Ooh, that's a great idea too!

[@mariakristinahawl1640]

Less frogging and fewer ends to knot or weave in. Happy to email you pictures if you're curious what they look like.

[@lindaanderson1660]

Thank you so much!

Have you found this join to be stable?

[@CraftersAutonomous]

Personally, I haven't had any issues with it coming undone. I've heard others talk about it not working well for them, so I think it's one of those where it depends on the person. I make sure my knots are really secure before I cut the tails though. Hope this helps!
