Russian Join Method
2017
Linda Skuja
A fun way to join two skeins of yarn without much visible connection and no yarn ends to weave in at the end.
CROCHET DESIGNER
Thread yarn through tapestry needle (1), make a loop and zig zag through the yarn (2).
Draw the yarn end through(3). Take the second string and put through the loop (4). Thread yarn through the needle (5).
Do the same with the second string (6,7).
Take both yarn ends and pull apart - the loops will close (8,9).
Cut the yarn ends off (10).
