SoCK Meeting – Joining Yarn
June 9, 2018 @ 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Description:Most of us have a favorite way to join yarns when adding a new ball of yarn or changing colors in a project. The program on joining yarns will present five methods of joining yarn: overlapping yarn; felted splice; double knot; Russian join; invisible braided join. You will learn some advantages and disadvantages of each method and types of yarn required.
Homework
Please bring 10 lengths of yarn, each about 8 inches long. At least two pairs should be plied, worsted weight, wool yarn. Other pairs may be synthetic plant or animal fibers. A sharp tapestry needle.
Additional Materials: On the KANG website under “members” you will find a drop-down menu that includes Handouts for each chapter. Please copy the first page of the handout on joining. The second page on the Clasp and Weft join in B & W is not very clean. People who would like to try that method using in weaving can download it for themselves from the website.
