40 frigging years i've been crocheting and not once has anyone told me this, so guess what i'm following you now, liked and subscribed

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Thank you so much Gillian! It my favorite hack!.

[@carismaloney1377]

I had only 4 inches left and ran out of my super bulky yarn that has been discontinued. This tutorial Came in the nick of time. I appreciate thisv top!

[@dl5788]

Love this video- especially for those of us who have a little difficulty affording the more expensive chunky yarns! Just now subscribing to your channel. Thank you for sharing!

[@craftydebbie-tn9403]

Neat trick. I have never seen that before and I've been crocheting many years. This eliminates the need to roll off extra balls, guessing if you have enough for your project. Just pull as you go.. I am going to use this for my multi strand projects when I don't have multi skeins to use.

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Thank you 😘

[@lynnbycko6291]

Hi! Found your hack video today, and this is a lifesaver for an emergency gift project I need to to today. Thank you very VERY much!

[@zoilaa9962]

It is true that we can learn something new each day. Thank you!

[@rachelsirr113]

Just trying this now, it’s working really well for my kitchen scrubbie!!! Thanks!

[@e2cmmm]

This is the same as Navajo plying! ✅👍🏻👍🏻

[@lindenpeters2601]

This is amazing! Saves me from having to wind 2 or 3 balls of the same yarn out of the same skein! Thank you so much for this video!!!

[@ninaweichert6491]

Thank you! Now I know what I‘m going to do with the Box full of like 50 years old yarn from my grandmother which looks a bit boring compaired to todays yarns but ist to good to get just thrown away. 🤩👍

[@yliberal6355]

Absolutely it is, it's called the Navajo knitting. Thank you!!

[@VillekSublis]

THIS IS AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEE thanks so much.. i make my own yarn and most of it is fingerling yarn or thinner and this is perfect to make them become worsted weight yarn :) thank you so much for this tip

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Villek Sublis I'm so glad you like the tip😊

[@victoriapakla1697]

So creative! I just bought a colander to run a thread from four skeins of sugar n cream each to get a bulky yarn, but this is much more useful!

[@tamalasneed2263]

I love this hack. Thank you very much.

[@celinacyr9175]

I love this technique, I've done this way many times,,so easy,!

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

[@lisabradley4331]

This is a great idea, thank you so much for sharing. As a beginner I could always use more tricks and ideas.

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

So glad you like the tip. How long have you been crocheting?

[@lisabradley4331]

Littlejohn's Yarn I've been crocheting about a year of and on now ,but really starting getting more into it pretty steady about 6months ago.

[@pamelahunter987]

Awesome trick! ❤️

[@knitone2312]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽that's amazing idea 💡.... I normally just by two balls or skeins if yarn. Your videos are very helpful and informative. It possible could/ would you do the baby sneaker video again? Or a version of a ugg boot?

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Thank you 😊, I'll see what I can do

[@jameysgirl1483]

I'm a new subscriber to ur channel. One of ur hats caught my eye & I'm glad I sub'ed to ur channel. Awesome hack. I used to have to measure out my yarn & cut them to have two or three rows of yarn. Thanks again for the hack.

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

I'm so sorry it has take me so long to respond back to your comment!. I'm so glad you are a new subscriber. I come out with 3 videos a week. This is so much easier than working with multiple strands of yarn. I"m able to do bigger projects minus the cost. I use a big skein of yarn like Caron One Pound and make a rug!

[@nsacrum3477]

FANTASTIC!! THANK YOU.

[@kireiTVstudio]

thank you so much!

[@Trinkrdink]

This is brilliant! Have you ever tried it with fingering weight yarn? I’m thinking I might need to, do the fingering weight isn’t so fiddly and the project works up faster. According to a chart I have, I would estimate that the weight would be between dk and worsted. But I wondered if fingering weight is as amenable to this hack?

[@robynbecker3443]

Spinner's call this norwegian plying. Without crocheting the strands together, I have used this on the addi machines as it was knitting to make a heavier weight yarn. Works great.

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Sorry it has taken so long to reply back to your comment, Norwegian plying! I never knew that. I learn something new everday. Thank you so much Robyn.

[@kyliestend7499]

It's not norwegian plying, but navajo plying/n-ply/chain ply

[@meganfedoruk1437]

Genius! Thanks 🙏

[@lpj7589]

Thank you for your tutorial. Now, tell me, how do I change fingering into worsted it? Merci!

[@cyndigarcia1431]

Wow, thanks for this!

[@lizabethmccool2990]

Girl. You just saved me the heartache of getting the wrong yarn for a baby gift! Crisis averted!!!!

[@ambervereide6612]

Do you chain over the loop til you get to the extra yarn?

[@casiaschreyer1742]

Can you do this with knitting too?

[@bonitahutchins8178]

How do you do it for knitting

[@toricawman3408]

I used this for some slippers, and I loved it! I actually preferred it to using bulky or super bulky yarn. Buuuut, I have no idea how to tie off with it. Any suggestions?

[@acaraj]

Great tip!

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Thank you

[@1JollyUtube]

Excellent!!!! Thank you Very much. :)

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Beginner here: Now that you've made a chain, how to you go beyond the chain and start making, say, a the row to start making a blanket this way?

[@dayneallensheetsftm]

I've got to add that one to my list of sayings.... :)

[@nikolsabatini9611]

can you use it to knit???!!!

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

I guess you could. I have never tried it before. Sounds like a cool experiment.

[@nikolsabatini9611]

@@LittlejohnsYarn could you make a youtube video trying it???!!!!!!

[@Unimixy]

How about I want to continue a project, how do I do it?

[@12lesflo]

Love this idea but let’s say you want to add a yellow yarn or any other color to this white yarn?

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

You can use a Russian join or switch color halfway through your last stitch like you would a single yarn🥰

[@12lesflo]

Littlejohn's Yarn Thank you so much!!!

[@godrocks2107]

Genius!

[@mjperfume1523]

I only need 2 chains bc I’m making a tam

[@sharonbeaber2323]

How do you end and tie off

[@LittlejohnsYarn]
