Another really st*pid question
The instructions on this pattern say "Break yarn."
Do I just leave it loose? Do I tie a knot or something with the new color I am starting with? ????? I really did try to search the net and haven't found anything cut and dried. I see things about joins, but it says *nothing* about a join in the instructions, to wit: "Work 10[12, 14, 16, 18] rows in reverse stockinette st, ending with a WS row; break yarn. Using MC, work 2 rows in stockinette St." So what do I do? My little blue jean cuff is getting lonely and wants the rest of the leg to keep it company. TIA! -- Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it. Autograph your work with excellence. |

Don't try to break it - you'll never do that to a decent yarn. Cut it off (leave about four inches or so to weave in later) then start up again with the main color yarn, also leaving a decent tail to weave in at the proper time.

I agree with Olwyn Mary, cut it. That is what it means. You will do fine. I have ran into that word used for cut before. Then, as Olwyn Mary stated, "continue with the other color".

So if I just leave it loose, won't it make the last stitch come loose?

It wil loosen a little, but then you snug it up at the time you weave in or tie off the tail. Now relax!! This is how we all do it. It works.

TIA! -- Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it. Autograph your work with excellence. "Break" is just old-school. Homespun yarns are often looser and can be pulled apart rather than cut. A lot of sewing patterns still read "break thread" when in fact you can cut it. You can tie the new color on to the old one or not, depending on your style. Personally, I rarely tie the new yarn to the old at the time of changing skeins - I tie them at the end when I'm cleaning up all the loose ends - but you can tie the new color on if you'd like. Good luck! |
