Thank you, Kelly! I've been tucking my tails in wherever I run out (saving every inch of yarn I can), and wondering if that was my wisest choice. That was a very helpful explanation. Also, you mentioned a Russian join. I'm curious what that is. Might you do a video on that? Thanks again. This video just felt so soothing to me, helpful in myriad ways. Thanks for all you do and share. Wishing you and your family well.

@KellyCasanova Жыл бұрын

There are lots of videos on the Russian join as knitters use it. I won't make a video, as I don't use the method myself, but I think it will be easy for you to find a demonstration just by searching the term.

@rainbowgal8047 Жыл бұрын

@@KellyCasanova yes, I began watching parts of some videos on it right then. Looks a bit like clasped weft from the little I've seen so far. I may explore more in time, but your way works well already. Thanks again.

@elizabethsielaff3414 Жыл бұрын

I have always tucked my weft tails back into the same shed but I like the way it looks tucking in the next shed, as you do it. Also, I think your method is more secure. Thank you :-)

@KellyCasanova Жыл бұрын

Give my method a try and see what you think. If you don't like it, you can always go back to your usual way 😉

@maralusis5434 Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the video. It will be very helpful for me. Question, though - do you cut the tails on the back flush with the fabric ? Before or after wet finishing?

@KellyCasanova Жыл бұрын

I'm kicking myself that I didn't address this question in the video, I really should have! So, you cut the tails after wet finishing and drying, then cut flush with the fabric 😉

@maralusis5434 Жыл бұрын

@@KellyCasanova Thank you ! I kind of thought that, but wanted to check to make sure. Love your videos! Once I finish with knitting for a sale in October and Christmas presents, I intend to concentrate on weaving and take some of your classes.

So then what do you do with the little tail bits that are hanging down on the backside? Thank you very much for your instructions!

@KellyCasanova 21 күн бұрын

After you have wet finished and dried the piece, you can cut them close to the fabric with sharp scissors (just be careful not to cut your actual fabric!)

what are your thoughts on using a Russian join if the thread is the same (color/type/etc.)?

@KellyCasanova 6 ай бұрын

Yes, you totally can, I just find weaving them in really fast and easy.

@polarjeez Жыл бұрын

Would you ever knot a weft tail into a warp string to secure it? I’m trying to weave with larger wool yarn and am still worried about them unraveling or coming out

@KellyCasanova Жыл бұрын

No, I wouldn't. Knots are usually visible in weaving. Another way to deal with them is to leave the tails a bit longer (long enough to thread in a tapestry needle) and needle weave them in once the piece is of the loom, but before wet finishing.
