The easiest way to join in a new ball in knitting - Trim, Overlap & Felt [no weaving in ends]

Step-by-step instructions on a super easy way to join in a ball of yarn in knitting I call Trim, Overlap & Felt - without weaving in ends. Super neat, super secure!
► Read the full tutorial on my blog: nimble-needles...
This method works great for all yarns that are even slightly feltable. The strength of the join doesn't rely on the felted bit. It's fast, super neat, and perfect for projects where you don't have a place to hide any tails.
It doesn't work for colorwork but for all other projects, it's maybe the best way!

What a fantastic technique. I’ve used it now many times and it works perfectly - totally invisible and no ends to deal with. I wish I’d know about this years ago. Thanks so much for presenting it, Norman.

So nice to have a join that will not result in lumpy knitting

[@sabinekuesters2094]

Absolutel wonderful! Thanks for this elegant tip! By the way, I mostly appreciate the spit bit. Way back when, in elemetary school, when I dampened the end of a piece of yarn so that it would fit through the needle eye, the teacher mocked me in front of the whole class. I did finish my project then, but afterwards I never touched wool or needle again. - Until recently. But that's a nother story. Anyhow, Norman, I am so grateful for all your tutorials. You really helped me so much in getting started again. And I didn't have to start from scratch. With your help I feel like a pro already.💚

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

awesome! glad to help you back to knitting!

[@taras.6990]

I just tried this for the first time and I'm in LOVE!!! There are no visible joins, no knots, no bulky stitches, and best of all, no ends to weave in. I'm knitting a stash-buster variegated blanket in linen stitch for a random, funky mosaic-like effect, so this technique looks great no matter where I join. Thank you, Norman!

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

You are so welcome!

[@theastewart6721]

Hi Norman. This is genius! I love the spit splice and this takes it to whole new level! I also like the braided join as well but this is a lot easier! Thanks for another fantastic tutorial!❤

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

I still kinda have to give it a name, tho! >.< I couldn't find it in any books.

[@anigozan3785]

I loved this when it came out, and only now have I had occasion to use it - brilliant! Its a great way to use every little bit of my special cashmere yarn in my little shawlette project, without having ends to weave it! Thanks Norman. Cheers, Jen xx (This channel two doesn't have a super thanks button lol! I was going to do that here as I really love this. No worries, I'll do it on your other channel in lieu sometime xx)

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

I think I could activate it somewhere. hm..not sure if I qualify yet, lol!

[@valeriehowden471]

Great technique. I've used the spit method before but never trimmed out the bulk. Many thanks, Norman.

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

it really does make a difference!

[@kdrinnin1]

Genius! I love watching you knit. So elegant!

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

Thank you so much!

[@leeway3739]

This is exactly what I needed to know 4 days ago! 😆

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

haha :P..well better late than never, right? ^^

[@msareli1]

Thanks for the tip, I think it will work very well. Happy holidays for you, your family and followers.

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

Happy holidays!

[@lisasalerno4182]

What a great way to join the next ball! I usually use a Russian join if the yarn allows with inconsistent success at "blending it in". this looks like a far better way. Thank you, Norman :)

[@glenford5254]

I have done the needle method. For years I love your new method.

[@nicoleg8921]

As always Norman you are brilliant!

Thankyou! So animal fibers only for this?

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

yes! for non-feltable fibers, the russian join or the overlap join works.

[@laurapawuk9713]

Thank you - I love this. I use the Russian join a lot but I don’t like the bulk. For this one, I assume it won’t work with acrylic or non-superwash? Is there a way to adapt it?

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

it won't worky for acrylic but I use it for almost all other fibers regardless. as long as the the yarn kinda sticks together. you don't need to be able to pull on it.

[@laurapawuk9713]

Thank you!

@@nimbleneedlestwo I know water will work. I left because I couldn’t un-hear the s-word. But I enjoy your videos and will finish watching it later.
