- Learn how to join 2 yarns with an invisible knot for fluffy yarns such as chenille, plus, and velvet blanket yarn.
In crochet and knitting, these thick fluffy yarns are so much fun to work with. When needing to join two strands of these types of yarn, it can be challenging. A traditional knot can be used and is secure, however, the knot oftentimes ends up large and bulky.
Another secure way to join two strands of this yarn is known as the invisible knot. Just like in cable splicing, the outer material is removed and the wires are then connected together. With this method, the outer fibers are removed from the yarn to reveal the inner thread core. A secure knot can be made with these inner threads. The resulting knot is both invisible and strong. It's an easy way to join the same color yarn together as well as join two different colors.
For this video I'm using multiple types of 100% polyester chenille yarn in a variety of diameters. I'm also using Aleene's Quick Dry Fabric Fusion, which is a flexible fabric glue that can be used on items that will be machine washed.

Ever use chenille, plush, velvet blanket yarn before? How about the joins? Visible or invisible knots?
Donna, I have avoided this yarn because I was afraid that the join and weaving in ends would look horrible. Now, you give me hope! Would you please do a video about how to weave in these ends?
@@Oceangirl_505I don't know what method she prefers, but I know if you have a sewing needle, you can pull a little fiber out like you did with the join and use those threads to sew your ends down after fastening off.
Depending on your project gauge and yarn weight, there's another join you can try as well:
overlap your old and new ends and treat them as a single ply for a few stitches. Those stitches will be a little bulkier, but it's extremely secure, which is nice with slippery yarns.
This method can be altered a little for color changes too. Stitch up to where your color change is, and mark that spot on your working yarn.
Then undo a few stitches, cross your old and new yarn at the mark, making sure each tail is running back along its matching yarn. Then you just crochet like you would for the previous variant, making sure to do a few double-ply stitches on *both* sides of the color change to lock the ends down.
These variants work particularly well with Bernat Blanket and other yarns that have a "flat" side. Putting the flat sides together along the join reduces the added bulk.
Hi i wanted to ask you off topic question
How can i frog a crochet sleeves from the point i started? I crochet a sleeves it took me 3 days to complete and it's loose at the beginning i don't want to frog it all so tried to frog from the begging but it keeps getting knot what do i do can i just cut it?
I didn’t even know this was possible 😮 I’m more inclined to use chenille yarn now, thank you!
Me too!
Me as well
Happy to help!
Me too+3
So simple and yet my mind is blown! Thank you so much!
Happy to help!
Wow this is amazing! I always knew they shed its hairs on the end but I never knew you can use that to your advantage! Thanks for sharing!
Yes, exactly! 💯 And must admit I was surprised by how easy I was able to pull out the fibers from the medium thickness one. The red and blue one was a bit tougher, which required tweezers. If anything, this technique is good to know to see which yarn will probably hold up over the years and not shed as much.
Great idea! I'm always using this kind of yarn. Way better than bulky knots! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Oh, Donna, I just love your tutorials! My Nana started teaching me to crochet & embroider nearly 55 years ago, yet I still learn so much from artists like you. Thanks so much for these wonderful tutorials here and on IG!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
You have a great knack for explaining things.
You're a smarty every day! Such a great idea. Thank you! ❤
Oh thank you! 😍
Superb idea!!! Thank you for the tutorial, that was very clear and straightforward
Love it, Dona! I had no idea we could do that.❤ Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Awesome tip, no more bumpy knot. And by the way, love your nail polish!
Thanks so much!
@@naztazia how does one guarantee that will actually hold together it looks like if it got pulled just right that it could break and then unravel.
If you see how easily I pull out the tufts from the yarn, which reveals how the entire yarn is held together by a couple of strands of thread, there's no guarantee of anything related to this type of yarn, even without joining a new color. It is a novelty yarn, and is not as strong as traditional yarn. So tying it, knotting it, and putting a dab of glue to join a new color seamlessly makes it as solid as possible.
Screaming, crying, throwing up. 😂 My mind is blown. I love using plush yarn, but I struggle with color changes. This is amazing.
Resourceful, beautiful, and talented. Thanks again, Donna!
Thank you so much!
Wow this is awesome! Thanks so much! Never ever knew about this! Love it!! ❤❤
Happy to help!
That's really cool! I've never used chenille yarn, but I would like to give it a try this fall, so this was perfect timing 😊
Excellent! 💯🥰

Thanks for watching!
You're a genius! But then, I already knew that about you! :)
Thank you for the kindness!
Thank you, Thank you I have been trying to figure out how to connect bulky yarn 🎉
You’re welcome 😊
I like this method less risk of burning myself! I usually melt these types of yarn together. 😂😅
Considering most of these yarns are manmade fibers, that is another way of doing it too! (I do that to the end of my ribbons to keep them from shedding).

Does it ALWAYS have the thread in the middle?
Edit: yep, I found it!
Also, thank you!!!! This is right on time for me! I'm making a blanket for my 18th little!
Glad this could help!

For anyone who has done this, how does it hold up in a washer? Do the ends fray further?
عمل رائع جدا ونتيجة جميلة

Please, I want to create a patchwork cardigan but I don't know what stitch to use. I resorted to choosing two different stitches: Granny stitch and mini bean stitch.
Does a mini bean stitch use more yarn than a granny square stitch? I want to use the least yarn eater among these two.
Kindly advice.
For the post part, a plain granny stitch with double crochet doesn't use much yarn at all. Bean stitches, because of the wraps, do use a bit more yarn. I have a tutorial on which stitches use the most and least yarn, plus, I have a calculator on my website showing how to measure stitches and the yarn amounts. th-cam.com/video/008AGHSunK8/w-d-xo.html
@@naztazia Thank you so much.

Too bad you couldn’t show us a fisherman’s knot.
