So I am geting my yarn bag prepped to start a gift for my neice. I picked 3 shades of Bernat Baby Blanket yarn, and was going to make a mermaid tail.
So how I start out--
I am quiet vexed with this yarn. Its super chunky so there will not be a good way to re-join it to itself with out it be noticeable. Russia join is out the window, splicing is impossible as its not ply'd, this leaves me with knotting it. I think I will try doing a u-n knot (where the u and n inter lock), I think it will be the least bulky and noticeable with this type of yarn.
I should get out my ball winder and start winding the purple up into a new center pull so I can control where all the knots will go. Maybe I will get lucky and 2 of the ends will be on a short SHORT piece that I can just toss (crosses fingers for luck).
If I am even luckier Bernat will get back to me and say they are sending me a new ball with only 2 ends!!
So how I start out--
- Gather the yarn I want to use.
- Find the center pull; if their isnt one easy to access I brake out my ball winder and wind up a center pull ball.
- Then I tuck it all into a bag with center pull tails facing up.
