Has it ever happened to you that after washing one thread comes out of a knitted item? It appeared most likely because the threads were not securely connected. This connection is very important. After all, it is necessary not only to tie the yarn well so that the product does not begin to unravel, but also to do it as unnoticeably as possible.
We will tell you how to combine fibers to ensure the quality of the knitted fabric. We offer two ways to tie an inconspicuous knot on a knitted item.
How to join threads without a knot
A suitable method if you do not want to trim the remaining threads and do not tie knots.
REFERENCE! This method is only suitable for dense knitting threads. The threads are secured and will not come apart even when worn.
- First you need cross two threads. Wrap them around each other like hooks.
- After this, you need to thread one of them into the needle, leaving a small tip.
- To secure it, we sew the yarn along the product. Then we pull out the needle, leveling the fabric.
- We do the same with the second thread.
If there are small ends left, they can be cut off or pulled to the wrong side.
Such tightening of the yarn will not be noticeable at all, and there will be no knots on the fabric.
How to join threads with an invisible knot
The first option is common and widely used by needlewomen when knitting, but only on thick fibers. A for fine yarn another option is needed. The same applies to “slippery” iris-type threads.
In this case, we suggest using another method. An alternative for joining thin threads is a weaver's knot.
IMPORTANT! Despite the fact that the connection is based on a knot, it is not only invisible, but also reliable on any thread.
This method is used by many tailors, and it holds well even when tying fishing line.
- First you need make a loop on one of the threads.
- The second thread is passed from below and brought from the right side under the first thread. The tip should be pulled out longer.
- The same reinsert the thread into the same loop, only from the reverse side.
- Tighten the knot a little, while checking whether everything was done correctly.
- After this, with some effort, tighten the knot to achieve the minimum size.
What are the other benefits of the weaving knot? It turns out to be so miniature and durable that If necessary, you can even trim the remaining yarn very close. But even the masters do not recommend doing this; it is better to pull the remaining threads to the wrong side using a hook.
Useful tips
- There are many ways to join knitting yarn. Many needlewomen even introduce new yarn while knitting without knots, but this is not always reliable. You may end up with a thickening that will be noticeable because the knot will be much larger.
- There is also a little secret that many knitters use. It is necessary to start a new ball at the beginning or at the end of the row, then the yarn can be hidden under the seam without any problems. Just if you see that this thread is not enough for a whole row, cut it and start the row with a new skein.
- But it happens that there is not enough yarn, then you just need to attach a thread in the middle of the glade, this can be done with the help of an inconspicuous knot.
We will be glad if our recommendations are useful to someone. Which knot do you use most often and do you cut off the ends or tighten them to the wrong side?
