Hi friends, I hope you enjoy these tips. If you have a favorite solution of your own, I'd love to know! xx
@PlayHookywithMe, A tip I've learned: if you end up w/a very short piece, or your tucking in has come out, weave the needle into the fibers WITHOUT threading that end through your needle; after you have the needle weaved in, thread it, THEN pull that short end piece through. You are most welcome!!
@@cherylpemberton1676 love it!
The kitty with the yarn at the end is too precious.
@@Schatzie301 😻 thankyou 👏🏻

Nice one 🙌🏻💕
This saves the day for me all too often😂
@@PlayHookywithMe, My Dear, you are my #1 most fave person on here; not only do you come up with innovative ideas I'd never have thought of, you share with us the most beautiful creative things for free - and you always make directions so easy to understand and make for ourselves!! THANK YOU!
P.S. I hope I've explained how to use and weave in the very short pieces of yarn? Of course, I would not mind if you show and share with others!
Much Love and Many Blessings to You and Your Family!!!!
@@rachelaleece, THANK YOU! I think it's WONDERFUL how the people on here share ideas so freely!!
@@cherylpemberton1676 Thank you, I will definitely share the next time I do a video on this topic. xx I really appreciate your words most sincerely 💕
Another suggestion: I weave in my ends but before snipping them off I give everything a wash and dry, what I have found is the long tail prevents the weaving in I did from undoing and the washing and drying helps the yarn take it’s new shape. Then I snip it all when I’m done and I have found this helps tremendously! ❤️
I love your tips and use them a lot but haven’t done felting. I feel like I would stab myself lol but I love the idea! ❤️ Thank you
Wonderful tip, thank you ! 🧶💕
I agree 100% with you!
My daughter has done felting off and on. I tried it a couple of times, and even though I was trying to be careful, I still stabbed myself (ouch!) with those darn things.
@@scootermom1791notice she’s using a foam pad under the yarn which looks like it will prevent one from poking their fingers.
Thank for the tip! I’ve been crocheting for over 50 years and I’m still learning all the time. I feel that’s the best way to go about making our lives better. Always keep your brain willing to listen and learn 😊
I agree 💯. I spend the majority of my day learning ! 😀❤️
Russian Join. This technique can be used with multi-ply yarns. I’m a new crocheter, and I love that the “ends” don’t even exist with this technique! It’s a super-strong way to join yarn, too.
(Apologies if someone has already mentioned it; I only read the first 50 or so comments.)
I use clear fabric glue. Works wonders and it’s washable.
Does the glue hold up after a wash
Does the glue get hard? Does it show? What brand do you use?❤
I do the two first techniques you mentioned but that felting one was new to me and I thank you so much for that. I have several blankets that are 30 years old and more that have multiple ends coming out so felting is definitely the way to go. I love that you are helping to preserve the work done now and in the past. TFS!
I appreciate your words, thank you 🧶💕💕
I just wanna say, Thank you for saying "little buggers". I love when creators simply speak as they normally would; Not like a bad TV reporter reading a prim and proper pre-written teleprompter. ✌️
signed, New Subscriber...
Edit; Woops, I'm already a subscriber 😊 no doubt.
😆 oh thank you ! 😀 well, they really are , aren’t they? 🙌🏻💕
Excellent tips, I hadn`t thought of using my felting needles to pop the peek-a-boo ends in! I liked your cartoon pop-ups too! Thanks so much!
Thanks so much! 😊😀👏🏻💕
Just found your channel. You can teach an old dog new tricks. I'm 71 & learned to crochet potholders at age 6. Been crocheting ever since. Love the felting tip. I will be watching more of your videos for sure. Thank you.
Thank you so much! 🧶💕
You had the coordination at the age of 6 to crochet?? That's incredible! Some 6 year olds still have trouble tying shoe laces. Lol 😊
@@scootermom1791 I think it runs in the family. Our son was threading my 36 inch loom & weaving at that age. He was so little he had to stand to weave which meant he had to balance on one foot while he pushed a treadle with the other.
@@annscrafts2965 that's adorable (about your son)! It must run in your family in the same way a talent for music runs in some and art in others.
Wow, thank you so much! I’ve started selling my crochet now and it’s really been a worry that yarn ends might pop out, not good! I’ll certainly try all these going forward 👏😊
Wonderful! Best of luck and success with your crochet sales! xx
What great tips! I always worry about loose ends when I am making items to give or sell.
Thank you !
I like your tips, thank you. Something I learned recently was to use a tiny hook to re-pull the short end under and between by starting at the "out" and going back in to grab the short end and pull it toward me.
Yes - great tip - love that one 🙌🏻💕
This is what I do too! Very secure way of weaving. Great video demonstrating it.
When I want to increase my crochet IQ, I come to your channel. Thank you for posting such amazing tips and helping us perfect our craft. ❤❤
What a lovely thing to say, thank you 😀🧶🫶🏻
I started watching hoping to improve my "sewing of the ends" but this is exactly how I already do it 😂
I don’t know what to say to that other than 🙌🏻😆
I must have seen this video before because I've been doing these tips for years! Glad to see it again.
I've not seen that felting technique before. Thank you. ❤
This beginner is SO GRATEFUL for this video! I’ve been so frustrated! Thank you so much! Also, thanks for the tips in the comments, too! Cheers! ☺️🫶🏻🧶
So glad 😀👏🏻👏🏻💕
Great to see this tip about the felting needles! I made a loose stitch top with a bamboo yarn, and the little ends are now popping up and frayed despite weaving them in well. I’m going to try this to get them to stay out. Thank you!
Awesome 😀🙌🏻
I guess it's true, you are never too old to learn new tricks. Thank you so much for these tips. They will definitely come in handy.
Glad you like them! 😀🧶
My favorite tip is the thread. That is useful for me. Thank you ❤
Very helpful video. Your technique of going through the fibers is a great way to help solve the issue. Thank you, Roz!!!!😄
So glad you liked it, thank you ! 👏🏻😀💕
I expect this video will become a viral hit due to how helpful it is. Consider editing it into a short!
Great idea, I’ll do that 🙌🏻💕
Thank you for suggestions for sewing in ends that pop out. great hints
I just found your channel and I subbed. You are an amazing teacher. I have been crocheting for 66 years and I am learning so much from you. Thank you so much. ,.
So glad to have you here, Catherine 🧶💕
All your tips are great but the one that helped me the most that I didn't know, was to use a sharp pointed needle and weaving it "through" the yarn fibers. You have such helpful videos. Thank you!!!
I’m so glad you found something useful! 😀😘💕
I got into felting a few years ago and then just stopped and my needles have had no use since... But now I can't wait to hide the pesky threads that are coming out of my crochet work! Thanks for the tip!
Wonderful! 👏🏻❤️
I have a blanket that has been done for a week and I have avoided weaving in the ends because I'm afraid of the tails coming out. I even thought it would be great if I could just felt it. I never considered I actually could felt the ends in. Heading to Hobby Lobby for supplies now. Thanks for the tip. 4:05
Great! 😀👏🏻🧶
That tip with the felting needle for existing short ends is GOLD. Thank you
Thanks, Cassie!
Weaving in ends is probably the only thing I dislike about Crocheting.
I had no idea I was doing it correctly, but by trial and error, I weave mine in
the way you're suggesting here. I use Wool Needles which are awesome!
Not only do they have a sharp enough point, but the eye is large enough for someone
like me w/bad eyesight and limited dexterity. Thanks so much for sharing with us
That’s awesome - I think the key you demonstrated here , is finding what works for YOU. Makes all the difference in the world! 😀👏🏻❤️
The felting of ends that always seem to pop back out is something I never tried. Looks like a great idea and I plan on using it for the next time!
Hope it works well for you 🙌🏻🧶❤️
Felting needles have tiny barbs along the edges that grab bits of fiber and lock them together as you poke. Thanks for the suggestion, as I have some felting needles, and a knit sweater with yarn tails working themselves out as I am working. The yarn is a 50/50 wool cotton blend that is quite slick, so my usual weaving in method isn’t working. I avoided Russian joins in this project since I think they would have shown, but in hindsight that might have been better. I’ll give the needle felting a shot.
Very helpful and this video was recommended at the perfect time for me!
So glad 😀👏🏻
TYSM, Well, I'd say you know your stuff. I've been needing this video for some time now. Thank you so very much for your great tips. ❤
Thank you so much 😀❤️
Thank you! I weave the yarn back & forth at least 3x over a distance & making sure to go into the yarn stitches so that it’s hard to come out (but do it so it’s hidden). I like your other choices & will be giving those a try.
Wonderful! 👏🏻💕
Thanks for your tips! Use felting needles, what a great idea! Since I would not have come now on their own, but I have them here.
Super!
I already figured out the 1st 2, but felting - wow! That's brilliant! What a game-changer! Thank you so much!
You have the best tips! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise! I also love your cat, so beautiful! Reminds of a cat we had many years ago...I still miss her. she was 18 when we lost her.
Awe , I’m glad you were able to enjoy her in your life that long. I hope we have this little rascal for many years to come. 💕 Thank you 💕
I made a granny hex blanket for my daughter and since joining them, I’ve had a bunch of ends pop out. I bought some felting needles yesterday and I’m excited to try them to keep them contained
Oh fantastic! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Happy Sunday to you Roz . Another great tip . I've never used the felt method , but will definitely try it . I have plastic canvas needles as well as S Bates needles because I used to make lots of plastic canvas projects and still does occasionally . Every week I learn something new from you . Great job 👏 . Enjoy your day along with the boys .
Awesome , Angela . Thank you and have a great week 😀💕🧶
Thank you for the tip about using felting needles for yarn ends that have popped out (for example, after washing). Didn’t know that! Will definitely add it to my bag of tricks. Thanks!
Oh I’m going to try the felting needle, thanks! I made a cow with blanket yarn and all the popped out when my granddaughter played with it! It looks like a hot mess lol. I’m going to sew then with thread like you suggested. I think it will work great. Thanks for the great tips😊
Sounds great! Yes, it works beautifully and your cow sounds so cute ! 😍
Another yet useful tip which I find very helpful. Thank you again. ❤🙏🏼
Thanks for the felting needle tip. I have been burying and splitting my yarn for some time now and have not had any problems with yarn sticking out but some of my older work has little bits poking out. I'll get busy with a felting needle with them.
Wonderful 😀💕
The felting needle idea was a game changer for me as I’m currently doing a Granny Square afghan. . I also needle felt so had the needle and pad on hand. Can’t thank you enough for this tip. I’ve never seen it elsewhere.
Wonderful! 😀👏🏻
I will certainly use the split and felt methods - already using the weaving in 3 directions. Thank you!
👏🏻🙌🏻💕
Just what I needed!
I did not think about pulling it tight before cutting it. Thank you for the heads up.
So glad you found it useful!
thanks for including blanket yarn!
Absolutely 🙌🏻💕
I haven't tried the "go between fibers" one. Awesome tips. TYSM
I‘m kinda proud I came up with these on my own. Especially the weaving into the yarn gives me an extra safe feeling. You know how you can pass the tail through the stitches after you‘ve finished? On the way back, weave through this tail yarn once or twice. You’re basically imitating the Russian join for your tail end.
Just make sure to stretch out the space where you’re hiding it, so that the fabric stays flexible afterwards.
Ugh- I’m trying to grasp what you’re saying because it sounds like a great tip and I’d love to give it a try . ❤️
@@PlayHookywithMe You know when you pass the tail through the bottom of the stitches of the last row? I do that for up to ten stitches, then stretch the fabric so the tail sits loosely, then double back inside those bottoms while piercing through the loosened tail several times. It’s super simple to do, but incredibly hard to explain with words. =)
@@ArDeeMee hence why I do videos instead of write blog posts 😂😂🙌🏻 that helped, thank you , I’ll definitely give this a try 👏🏻❤️
Thank you for these wonderful tips on concealing ends. I ALWAYS had a problem with that. :)
Thanks for showing the felting needle method.
You bet 😀🧶
WONDERFUL,,, THANK U SO MUCH ..I WAS HAVING LOTS OF TROUBLE WITH THESE ENDS.. HAVE A GREAT DAYXX
Glad it helped! 🙌🏻💕
Thank you for this info…I weave in one direction splitting the yarn , the opposite direction splitting again and a third time in the initial direction splitting the yarn…it can be time consuming especially when you do work with a lot of color changes…working on various techniques for knotting ends to reduce the amount of weaving ends. Thanks again for sharing your expertise with us. Stay safe and be blessed ❤
Thank you , yes , it can be time consuming for sure ❤️ I’m always in the hunt for knitting techniques too 🙌🏻😆💕
Thanks a bunch! I've always got a tail sneaking out here and there. ♥
The felting tip is brilliant
. Can’t want to implement this in my work
Just what I needed! Thanks!
i've always wondered whether it was wise to split the yarn while weaving in, and now I know. thanks!
Thnx for demonstrating various joining techniques. My wife is knitting a scarf and needs to join yarn in the middle and not at the end of the rows.
Great! If she doesn’t want any knots in the middle of her work, I’d recommend she watches this too :

Thank you for the Feltwork tip!
I’ve learned something new once again! Thanks so much!
So glad! 😀🙌🏻💕
Great tips, Roz! 🧶🧶🧶
Thank you so much , Elise !! 😀❤️❤️
Will be using the felting tip to re-finish the sleeves on my wool sleeved scarf. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your tips. I have an old afghan that I have that has some wayward ends. I'm going to try your felting needle tip to fix it.
Again, thank you!😊
Wonderful, hope it does the trick 👏🏻❤️
Well for petes sakes, i never knew that about felting the ends in! Clever indeed!!!
Thank you! I've been waiting for help with this! Perfect timing!
Great timing, thanks!
I switched to sharp point needles last year and that has made a huge difference!
Excellent 🙌🏻😀
Great suggestions, thank you for sharing ❤
Please, the editing, I love you.
This is so informative, and the little cherry on top was the "bada-bing-bada-boom". I lost it at that moment for a minute xD
😂🙌🏻💕
Greetings from France 🌹. An excellent video but the BEST IS TO WATCH YOUR CAT FELTING HER FUR😍😍😍🤗. YOUR DARLING KITTY STOLE THE SHOW 😅. A big hug from my remaining 5 cats outta 14 and my Newfoundland. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Awe, lovely 😻😻😻 🇫🇷💕
Used most but the felting. Will try this one
Thank you for the chunky idea. Why didn’t I think of this???????
Thank you for the felting and sewing tips. Great ideas. I split my yarn in half, then split those in half and make two tiny knots in separate spots (once over and pull, then twice over and pull) these knots never come out. I also make sure that they are under stitches, so u can never see them. I use a smaller needle bc I'm only threading 1 ply through. For slippery fibers, I put Fabric Fusion into a syringe (more precise) and inject it onto the knot or tail in between stitches so u never see the glue. Fabric Fusion works amazingly on chunky yarn. Lift up the tail and inject underneath the tail ontop of a hidden loop, press tail back down, let dry, trim. Works like a charm.
What excellent tips! What kind of syringe did you use with the fabric fusion?
@PlayHookywithMe Hello, the syringes are from Duda Energy, disposable 10ml 15 gauge. They come in a box of 100. When I put a little bit of the Fabric Fusion in and store it with the cap on, then in an air tight container, it lasts for weeks. As soon as the FF starts to turn colors (tan to brown) I replace it. The syringes come with very long needles, I just snip them with a wire cutters and then uncrimp the opening with pliers. Dollar Tree has these expandable cylindrical holders(can be used for posters, hooks, anything) that's what I store the syringes in. Sorry for the novel. Thanks for all ur content, it's really great. Best of luck to you.
@@kristenfay5083 awesome, i appreciate the info . Thank you for watching and your support 😀
@@PlayHookywithMe You got it, just subbed. 🙂
@@kristenfay5083 😀🙌🏻💕
some great tips there, Thank you
Ooooooo……. I was already doing the first two techniques but I had never thought to do the felting. I already have all the felting tools so I will definitely try this next time.
It really helps !
Thank you. I recently taught myself how to crochet, so I need all the help I can get❤.
Lovely 😀🧶
I have recently woven my ends in the usual way and then add a tiny bead of fabric glue to the underside of the end in an inconspicuous place. Then, after some time to allow the glue to dry, snip the end off close to the glued spot.
Oooh , love that idea 👏🏻
Thank you so much. I have this peoblem all the time, especially with Bernat Blanket Yarn.
They can be annoying , for sure lol
Hello Roz & Biscuit. Great tips. Thanks. ❤🐾😺
Thank you , Michelle, have a great week! 🧶💕
This helped me so much. Thank you!
So glad! 🧶❤️
You are the best and blessing to us all ❤️🙏 thank you thank you thank you so much xx
Thank you so much 😀💕
I have started weaving my ends through the stitches I’m about to work for the next row. I take a yarn needle and pick up the back loops of about an inch or so of stitches (like I’m working an invisible decrease), then pull the end through. Then I do it back the other way, and continue with the next row. I make sure it’s not pulled tight, but it covers everything up and is perfect for color changes.
Fabulous!
Holy moly this is helpful! I always struggle with the dang ends. I’m going to use these tips for the rest of my blanket I’m making right now that changes color every row…
Wonderful! 😀❤️
Thank you for the tips!
Finally, my tails will be neatly tucked away. Thank you so much for the different ways to accomplish this.❤🥰
First time watching good ideas I will be ordering the felt needles 😊
Wonderful!
So helpful!!! Thank you!
Brilliant episode. Thank you for sharing the ways of hiding threads. Kind regards
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😀
@@PlayHookywithMe ❤
I can vouch for the felting needle!
And as some have suggested here, don’t cut your ends until after you have washed/blocked.
As I weave in ends, once I’ve completed my first weave I go back stitch from my last exit and start again I do a gentle tug on my yarn before cutting off.

I had no idea the simple term, "silly buggers", would make me giggle so hard.
Thanks for my morning chuckle, just wish I wasn't sipping coffee at the very same time.
😆🙌🏻❤️❤️❤️
Today was a wonderful lesson. Thank you so much gor sharing! ☮️🌍🌲
Thank you so much 😀🧶❤️
Excellent, thank you!
I needed this!
Thank you for the tip using felting needles. I might need to get a set to keep in hand. Hugs 🤗
They come in really handy 🪡❤️
Absolutely brilliant and so very helpful to me. I appreciate you for making this video and have subscribed to see what else I can learn from you. 🙂
Awesome, thank you for your support 🧶💕
