Quick Tip: Threading a Yarn Needle with Novelty Yarn
Mary Beth TempleWhile knitting with novelty yarns can be fun, weaving in the tails can often be a little more difficult than it is with a smoother yarn, starting with getting that yarn into the tapestry needle. Watch for tips on how to do it easily so you can quickly wrap up your novelty yarn project. One open stitch that looks terrific in novelty yarn is this one - The Wave Stitch.
Hi there. I'm Mary Beth Temple. Like many other knitters. I do not enjoy weaving in ends. And sometimes if I'm trying to weave in ends with a novelty yarn or something with a lot of halo, it's even more frustrating because I can't thread the darn yarn needle.
Now. I know we all have our tips and tricks to thread a yarn needle, but especially if you're working with a novelty yarn. I have one, I bet you haven't seen before. If you cut any old piece of paper, the width of the eye of your needle and fold it in half, you can take the end of your yarn no matter how fuzzy or worn or how much halo or if it has beads or sequences or what have you, you can insert it right inside that piece of paper, slide the paper through the needle and voila. You have threaded your needle no matter how fussy that urine is with no problem at all.
