Ask any crocheter and knitter what their least favourite aspect of a project is, and many will give the same answer: weaving in ends and hiding knots.\u00a0 As one ball of yarn begins to run out and the need to begin another ball approaches, it can be bothersome, particularly with projects that require a lot of yarn skeins or projects using bulky, super bulky, or jumbo yarn where hiding the ends can be tricky.\u00a0 I will show you a brilliant technique<\/strong> to join yarn ends together that eliminates the need to weave in ends and make knots.\u00a0 By using this technique, less expensive yarn is wasted since you do not need to weave in ends!<\/p>\n

Felting<\/strong> is the process of shrinking and bonding animal fibers through heat, agitation, and moisture.\u00a0 Animal fibers are lined with tiny microscopic scales that interlock and tighten together through felting, forming a dense cloth\/felt with a soft texture.\u00a0 We will learn how to felt yarn ends together through agitation using a felting needle<\/a>!\u00a0 Felting needles have barbs\/notches on them, and when you repeatedly jab at the yarn (agitation), it causes the fibers to interlock together.<\/p>\n
