Why have I been trying so hard for 50 years to weave in ends WITHOUT splitting the yarn?!? This is beautiful! Thanks! ❤

I don't knit, I only crochet, but I have a trick for weaving ends as I go, and I guarantee it stays put. I don't even need a special tool to do it, it works best with the crochet hook. I simply lay the yarn across the top of the stitches I'm crocheting into, and crochet over them, for a couple of stitches. I then pull them to the side, and crochet a couple more stitches without burying them. I then go back, and insert my hook DOWN THROUGH the top of the stitch where I stopped burying it (by sticking my hook down through the middle of the V), reach down and hook the yarn tails, and pull them up through the middle of the stitch. This has the yarn tail laying in the opposite direction. I then crochet as normal, and when I get back to the yarn tails, I repeat the process. Once I get back to it the third time, I crochet over it a couple of times, then cut the ends off. It's buried, it's invisible, and believe me, it stays put. I know, because I've had to rip back passed the buried ends, and to get past the stitch the tails have been pulled up through, I have to pull them back out from the bottom. It takes a less than a minute to do (once you get used to it), and when you are done with your project, you only have the last yarn tail to weave in!

Do you have a video of this? I’m having trouble visualizing it with the pulling the tails through and continuing

It's April 1st 6 PM Winnipeg canada.This is an amazing video I have been weaving in my ends but I certainly won't do it anymore

I have been doing this in my crochet and learned it from a knitting friend! Then, I saw Mikey show this technique on a tutorial and thought, "Yay!!! I'm not the only one! This is awesome! Thank you for showing it and for validating those of us who have been "destroying" our yarn ends for a while! Lol! Enjoyed this video!!😉

Loved this tip and I will use it on my Christmas stockings. Thanks Marly and Ann!

So I’m not weird to love the little pile of end that I trim off! Love the tutorial.

Thank you. Hate hiding ends but loved the video and can’t wait to get a needle

Ha! I bury my ends when I do needlepoint or crewl. Never thought about doing it for knitting or crochet. Thanks, that was a good tip!

Awesome technique and video demo. Thanks!

Great tutorial! Thank you

This is amazing ...you make it so easy!!! Thank you!!

Love this!

Great video!

Thank you love love love this

Fantastic !

Amazing, less work, great results. Thanks

Great idea I will give it a try

Great video, well done! Liked! ..Thanks 👍 have a nice day 👍😍💙💖🌻🍀🌺

Amazing thanks to you both😊

This is s neat. I’ve always done a version of this for years. But honestly I would do it through longer sections and x3. Lol I would so like to try your way. I’m just a worrier about it coming loose. Thank you.

Going to get my chenille needles now!

Great tips, I'll try this on my newest WIPs. Time to order chenille needles! 😊

Aha - so basically like a Russian join but into the links & other yarn on the backside of the project! Genius!!

wished I had known this years ago when I made several sweaters! will use it now in any future projects.. also loved the vid about he intarsia

Glad it was helpful!

I tie plus crochet over and weave in works great for me

I found some very sharp leather working needles with good sized eyes on line (Amazon) that I will probably use for this. I thought it would weaken the yarn, but I see you have to go into the heart of the yarn among the ply for splicing too. This is much easier.

Thnx for the technique, i hate weaving.😁

Fantastic! TFS!

It's great! similar to the Russian join.

I need help on joining color chunks yarn. My nightmare! Would love to see a video on a clean color change without tails!

What are “links” I’ve never heard that term

Any possible way to zoom in closer so we can see what the links are?

I’m burying the ends in a lapghan, as I watch this! I kind of enjoy isewing the ends in..,If there aren’t too many...

Great-- but where's the pattern for the intarsia purse?

Difficult and tedious to use size 18 chenille needle with worsted weight, yarn kept splitting when trying to thread needle. I used small plastic Susan Bates finishing needle, worked for me.

Marly, I’m making your C2C snowflake blanket and have been weaving my ends as I go. How perfect is this burying ends technique for that blanket? I’m so excited to try this!

Marly Bird I am paranoid about ends and have been weaving in like, 8 inches back and forth, lol. I can't wait to get a chenille needle and try this. Thanks to you and Anne for sharing.

I am just starting to knit with a loom. Have never been able to master the use of 2 needles I am a crocheter by preference but have always loved the look and clean lines of knitting. So far in all the tutorials on how to get rid of the ends this one makes the most sense. Thanks Marley love all of your videos. Just one question though, I save all my little snipped off ends in an old pill bottle and use them as additional stuffing when I make amigurumi toys, is this ok or should I not be doing this? I have 5 grandchildren and they all love the toys but I don't want to do anything that might hurt them.

Wow! So I mostly crochet, for knitting, do you always add on a new skein of yarn at the beginning of a row, because I think it would be hard if you ran out of a skein of yarn in the middle of a row to add it in and hide the ends.

If you try to bury an end in smooth fabric, it will disrupt the stitches. I have links to use, in intarsia, but also successfully bury in textured fabric, like garter stitch, or cables Crochet is easy to bury into, just go into the center of the stitches. This all goes for adding yarn, as well, as the ends are the problem. Do it in a place you can hide the ends!

I can't even explain how much this has helped! I am a newer knitter and seems like no matter what I try, the ends always ended up coming out. I never thought to bury it into the yarn. I had a big bag of finished projects that I had put off weaving in because I was so frustrated. Started working on them this weekend and hope to have them done soon!

Can someone spell the name of the needle. Also I don't knit but will watch the video love listening to Anne she explains well

Thank you so much! It's always fun to be with Marly. This is a Chenille needle, spelled just like the fabric.

I always hide the end as i go . It drive me crazy to see ends sticking out especially when you have to deal with more than two colors. It just make the fabric look so neat

So, it's like the Russian join?

Can you use this technique with floats on color work like fair isle?

It’s the same but I usually split the plus on the tail and weave those in.

Split spliced?

@MarlyBird

That is where you fray two ends of wool (not superwash or mercerized), sort of fork them together so the plys are entwined and add a little spit then rub hard to generate heat and friction. The two ends essentially felt to one another and create a great join.

Does this technique work with acrylic yarn also?

@anneberk7510

6 жыл бұрын

Yes! Bury the needle into the plies, just as with wool. Cotton is the trickiest fiber to work with, as the yarn doesn't slide as easily through the fibers - you have to PULL it through. I pinch the fabric between my thumb and forefinger to keep it stable as I pull.

On yarns that are sticky to pull thru I put my needles in baby powder they work so much easier

to me this is just common sense I have been doing it for years, I don't get it maybe? just seems obvious that you would have picked up lots of maverick ways to get rid of ends once you knit something with lots of endies??? maybe I am missing something but if not, I have been feeling sloppy about doing this and now this gives me permission by making it into a "technique" .... I cannot imagine how else it would be done actually???

Lo and behold this is how I hide my ends. I thought it was what we were supposed to do.

The Susan Bates finishing needles have sharp tips. Will they work for this technique?

Most needle eyes are stamped, so one side will be easier to thread than the other side. In other words, i you are having a hard time of it, try stuffing the yarn into the eye from the other side. I don't have any of those link-things, but I've got a boatload of those damned ends, so I'm going to see how this works. Heh, maybe the lumps can be a new design element? Whatever, thank you!

I don’t get it. Can’t see how exactly it’s done.
