      Me too, I spent $26.16 on 5 skeins of yarn for two reasons;
      1: I'm ridiculously bored
      and 2: I have a minuscule (absolutely out of hand) yarn problem.

      When you finish and you have one last loop you cut the yarn from the skein leaving a fairly long tail, then you just pull that loop all the way out and pull the tail tight. That will make a knot. Hope that was helpful.

    • @meagansanders2520
      @meagansanders2520 5 років тому +1

      Usually, in regular knitting at least, you just pull it tight so it forms a secure knot, then you just weave it in to hide it. I may be wrong, but when knitting with needles that's what you do.

    Bought the yarn from the link provided. Paid over $100 for the bundle of 109 yards of yarn, to find out it is big enough for a lap blanket only 😭

    It’s a *great* idea to knit a blanket and send it to Australia. We are 5 days into 2020 and half of the country is burning down. Half a billion animals have tragically died, and blankets are being accepted for the animals that barely managed to escape but got sent to veterinary centres.

    Hi. Does this yarn shed ,pill and is it washable? Thank you!

      Ruth Kervin no shedding because its tube yarn. Inside is filled with stuffing so if you wash it, the water that is stuck between the tube will not be suctioned out as much during a load. So you’ll have to transfer this into a tub and squeeze out all the water before drying a it’s extreme heavy and a huge mess afterwards. Not only that, the knots will be out of alignment.

      Hannah Holmberg it might be a good idea to learn how to crotchet first, but it’s up to you!
