Creating Bulky Yarn from One Light Weight Skein

Did you know ONE skein of yarn can be turned into a BULKY yarn?! Yep, I just said it and it's true, bulky yarn from 1 skein. And if a pattern calls for three strands held together, you do not need three balls of yarn. Simply use one ball of yarn and work with three strands. Does it sound impossible? Take a look at the video below to learn how to triple yarn.

So I do indeed lose count. But it is not too hard to count all my stitches again (at least, with this 3-thickness yarn, my stitches are BIG!)
