That is so wonderful. I’m 82 years old and have never seen this before. Been crocheting since I was 8 yrs. thank you so much

Lovely! I have 2 newer videos about this but KZbin keeps showing the oldest one 😊

After so many years crocheting 🧶 finally a simple way to join a yarn. No more knots 🪢. Ty for sharing 🥰❤️🙏

Wonderful!

This is the first time I’ve seen this method. Total game changer for me. Thank you!

Good to hear - yes, it is very handy!

This is brilliant. Why did I not learn this 35 years ago?

Better now than never :)

Even with a fairly thick yarn, this technique is amazing! Thank you for sharing. I feel so accomplished now 😂😂😂

[@TuulaMaaria]

Lovely! 😊

[@gwynquagliana2043]

I know your video says this won’t work with bulky yarn but right now I’m making a scarf with Wool Ease Thick and Quick weight 6 super bulky yarn, and this method actually worked like a charm. Very happy I came across this video. Thank you!

[@TuulaMaaria]

Oh right, that's good to know! I have used that yarn, it probably works because it is quite soft. But I haven't tried with it, thank you for letting me know! 💙

[@mireah]

Thank you, as someone that's learnt everything I know about crocheting from youtube, it's nice to see someone pass on the helpful tips.

Even though this was posted a few years ago, I'd like to thank you for posting, I've struggled with joining yarn for a while and this has made it so much easier and much much neater, thank you very much.

OMG this is genius! my mind is blown. THANK YOU

[@noralyndavis5173]

According to KZbin, your video was made 6 yrs ago. I have been crocheting a lot longer than that, and never knew how to do this. I thank you very much for your tutorial.

Yes, it's 6 years old but still gets hundreds of views every day! It is great that there is always new to learn no matter how long we have been crocheting!

[@susanvampressqueencolvin4721]

Same here. My question to you Tulia now is once you cut the ends, it WON'T unravel??

[@TuulaMaaria]

@@susanvampressqueencolvin4721 You need to make sure to overlap the yarns enough, the they don’t. I have a couple of newer videos about this and on them I talk about this more but KZbin keeps pushing the old one to viewers!

[@madforbread]

Like Jeaneane, I have also been crocheting a long time. I'm now 64 and have never seen this before! I will be using this method for my knitting as well, it will save having to sew in all those ends. Just goes to show you never stop learning!

[@TuulaMaaria]

So glad to hear you found this as a new tip! Yes, there is always new to learn, no matter how long you have been crocheting 🙂 I also use this in knitting too.

Wonderful video. Short sweet and too the point. And most of all very helpful. I appreciate u not over explaining it and trying to show us how to do this like we are complete idiots and need it explained to us in too many overly confusing little steps. This was a wonderful and effective video to teach me what I was looking for. And u didn’t waste 20 minutes of my time teaching me something that can be taught in two. I appreciate u.

[@TuulaMaaria]

I can’t wait to try this. I’m making my first blanket and this seems like the easiest method to pick up and the blending of the two yarns looks so seamless!

That is so cool! When I first learned to crochet I just tied the ends together.

This way is so much easier! Thank you!
