Learning this skill is not so difficult, but the result is beautiful, original, and most importantly - useful hand-made little things. It can be either gifts for loved ones, clothes for personal use, or home decorations.
But beginner craftswomen often have some questions, they have to face difficulties. For example, not everyone knows how to hide threads when knitting and which of several possible methods is better to choose. You will learn about all this in this article.
How to hide threads when knitting: effective methods
The first and easiest way that is used most often is to sew the tips into the fabric. It is quite easy to do this - first of all, leave threads about 10 cm long from both glomeruli, then knit as before. In the next rows, the threads should be pulled in order to get more accurate loops. Then you need to fix the thread - stick the needle into the loop from which the second thread comes. The remainder extends horizontally through the arcs of the purl stitches. You can also stretch them vertically, but through half the front loops.
In other cases, weaving is used. You must also leave a certain amount of thread and continue to knit, weaving the old into a new one. In a subsequent row, the remaining end is also woven.
Important! Change the location of the thread during the knitting process - first let it be in front of the working thread, and next time - behind it.
The following method is suitable for fabrics that contain a large amount of wool, that is, for those that can be knocked down. That is, it can not be used with all types of threads. Most often it is used in the manufacture of a product that does not have a wrong side and a front part - they are both clearly visible.
The ends of the threads must be divided and shortened to different lengths, breaking off with your hands.
After that, they should be connected and fit on the hand. Moisten the other hand with water and continue rubbing the threads between them until they turn into one. This method is called felting.
The last method is called the Russian compound:
- The tip of the first thread is threaded into the needle with a blunt end and wraps around the second.
- Then the needle is inserted into the middle of the thread, and at the end a small loop appears, which combines both threads.
- The second thread is inserted into the needle, all actions are repeated. After that, you can continue knitting.
How to carefully hide the ends of the thread when knitting
In order to choose the right one, it is necessary not only to study all the subtleties of each method of hiding the threads, but also to practice in advance - if you start using it immediately, you can spoil the already half-finished product with sloppy sticking threads.
Now you know how you can hide the ends of the threads when knitting - this is one of the most common problems that beginners have to face. Having tried all the different methods, you can choose the one that is ideal for you and your product. Thus, all manufactured things will look neat and beautiful, and you can also save a large amount of yarn, because you can use the balls almost to the end, and you will no longer have to throw unfinished ones.
