Let's Answer a Few Questions?

1. Why does my yarn have knots?
All yarns can have knots. it's normal.
When yarns are machine spun, they tie not when a big spool runs out. and you are given a few extra yarns of yarn to fix it. 

2. Why does my skein look like it's been cut?
There a few ways this can happen. If the person opening the box to stock at the store, Uses a box cutter and accidentally cuts the yarn.

Anther way is some stores display the yarn is wire baskets, the edges of the baskets are sharp and it can be easily cut. I have even cut my finger on one.

3. If There is a knot or my yarn is cut, 
what do I do.

If you purchased the yarn locally, take it back to the store and exchange it, or get your money back.

If you purchased it online, contact the company and they will exchange and replace it.

Why does my Yarn Have a Knot and How can I fix it? | Posh Pooch Designs

"Why Does My Yarn Have A Knot 

and How Can I Fix It?"

See This Video on my Youtube channel at This LINK

First lets talk about "Why yarn can have knots"?

Don't get upset or mad at the yarn company,

 because you have a knot.

Any Yarn, no matter the company,

 will have a knot pop up occasionally.

It happens during the process of winding the yarns

 into skeins, balls or hanks.

The yarn is Wound off of large Spools, 

and when the spool ends,

 a knot is added to connect the next spool.

The knot is not intended to be permanent.

When a knot is needed, most yarn companies 

add a few extra yards of yarn, 

so you have enough to join properly 

and to finish your project.

Now we have a knot, What do we do?

There several ways to join yarn. 

And to me it really depends on the yarn and the project.

In the video I show you 2 ways That are my favorite.

1. Joining at the end of a row or round.

This works great for most projects but if you are not

 at the end of a row or rounds, can waste a lot of yarn.

2. The Russian Join, works great for most yarns.

It is more difficult with cotton yarns, though.

Especially if you HATE weaving in the ends.

So if your yarn has a knot, 

Do not panic or get mad!
