@PlayHookywithMe, A tip I've learned: if you end up w/a very short piece, or your tucking in has come out, weave the needle into the fibers WITHOUT threading that end through your needle; after you have the needle weaved in, thread it, THEN pull that short end piece through. You are most welcome!!

@@PlayHookywithMe, My Dear, you are my #1 most fave person on here; not only do you come up with innovative ideas I'd never have thought of, you share with us the most beautiful creative things for free - and you always make directions so easy to understand and make for ourselves!! THANK YOU! P.S. I hope I've explained how to use and weave in the very short pieces of yarn? Of course, I would not mind if you show and share with others! Much Love and Many Blessings to You and Your Family!!!!
Another suggestion: I weave in my ends but before snipping them off I give everything a wash and dry, what I have found is the long tail prevents the weaving in I did from undoing and the washing and drying helps the yarn take it’s new shape. Then I snip it all when I’m done and I have found this helps tremendously! ❤️ I love your tips and use them a lot but haven’t done felting. I feel like I would stab myself lol but I love the idea! ❤️ Thank you
My daughter has done felting off and on. I tried it a couple of times, and even though I was trying to be careful, I still stabbed myself (ouch!) with those darn things.
Russian Join. This technique can be used with multi-ply yarns. I’m a new crocheter, and I love that the “ends” don’t even exist with this technique! It’s a super-strong way to join yarn, too. (Apologies if someone has already mentioned it; I only read the first 50 or so comments.)
Thank for the tip! I’ve been crocheting for over 50 years and I’m still learning all the time. I feel that’s the best way to go about making our lives better. Always keep your brain willing to listen and learn 😊
I do the two first techniques you mentioned but that felting one was new to me and I thank you so much for that. I have several blankets that are 30 years old and more that have multiple ends coming out so felting is definitely the way to go. I love that you are helping to preserve the work done now and in the past. TFS!
Just found your channel. You can teach an old dog new tricks. I'm 71 & learned to crochet potholders at age 6. Been crocheting ever since. Love the felting tip. I will be watching more of your videos for sure. Thank you.
@@scootermom1791 I think it runs in the family. Our son was threading my 36 inch loom & weaving at that age. He was so little he had to stand to weave which meant he had to balance on one foot while he pushed a treadle with the other.
I like your tips, thank you. Something I learned recently was to use a tiny hook to re-pull the short end under and between by starting at the "out" and going back in to grab the short end and pull it toward me.
Wow, thank you so much! I’ve started selling my crochet now and it’s really been a worry that yarn ends might pop out, not good! I’ll certainly try all these going forward 👏😊
Great to see this tip about the felting needles! I made a loose stitch top with a bamboo yarn, and the little ends are now popping up and frayed despite weaving them in well. I’m going to try this to get them to stay out. Thank you!
I just wanna say, Thank you for saying "little buggers". I love when creators simply speak as they normally would; Not like a bad TV reporter reading a prim and proper pre-written teleprompter. ✌️ signed, New Subscriber... Edit; Woops, I'm already a subscriber 😊 no doubt.
I got into felting a few years ago and then just stopped and my needles have had no use since... But now I can't wait to hide the pesky threads that are coming out of my crochet work! Thanks for the tip!
All your tips are great but the one that helped me the most that I didn't know, was to use a sharp pointed needle and weaving it "through" the yarn fibers. You have such helpful videos. Thank you!!!
Weaving in ends is probably the only thing I dislike about Crocheting. I had no idea I was doing it correctly, but by trial and error, I weave mine in the way you're suggesting here. I use Wool Needles which are awesome! Not only do they have a sharp enough point, but the eye is large enough for someone like me w/bad eyesight and limited dexterity. Thanks so much for sharing with us
Thank you! I weave the yarn back & forth at least 3x over a distance & making sure to go into the yarn stitches so that it’s hard to come out (but do it so it’s hidden). I like your other choices & will be giving those a try.
Felting needles have tiny barbs along the edges that grab bits of fiber and lock them together as you poke. Thanks for the suggestion, as I have some felting needles, and a knit sweater with yarn tails working themselves out as I am working. The yarn is a 50/50 wool cotton blend that is quite slick, so my usual weaving in method isn’t working. I avoided Russian joins in this project since I think they would have shown, but in hindsight that might have been better. I’ll give the needle felting a shot.
I just found your channel and I subbed. You are an amazing teacher. I have been crocheting for 66 years and I am learning so much from you. Thank you so much. ,.
I have a blanket that has been done for a week and I have avoided weaving in the ends because I'm afraid of the tails coming out. I even thought it would be great if I could just felt it. I never considered I actually could felt the ends in. Heading to Hobby Lobby for supplies now. Thanks for the tip. 4:05
Thank you for this info…I weave in one direction splitting the yarn , the opposite direction splitting again and a third time in the initial direction splitting the yarn…it can be time consuming especially when you do work with a lot of color changes…working on various techniques for knotting ends to reduce the amount of weaving ends. Thanks again for sharing your expertise with us. Stay safe and be blessed ❤
Thank you for the tip about using felting needles for yarn ends that have popped out (for example, after washing). Didn’t know that! Will definitely add it to my bag of tricks. Thanks!
Thank you for the felting and sewing tips. Great ideas. I split my yarn in half, then split those in half and make two tiny knots in separate spots (once over and pull, then twice over and pull) these knots never come out. I also make sure that they are under stitches, so u can never see them. I use a smaller needle bc I'm only threading 1 ply through. For slippery fibers, I put Fabric Fusion into a syringe (more precise) and inject it onto the knot or tail in between stitches so u never see the glue. Fabric Fusion works amazingly on chunky yarn. Lift up the tail and inject underneath the tail ontop of a hidden loop, press tail back down, let dry, trim. Works like a charm.
@PlayHookywithMe Hello, the syringes are from Duda Energy, disposable 10ml 15 gauge. They come in a box of 100. When I put a little bit of the Fabric Fusion in and store it with the cap on, then in an air tight container, it lasts for weeks. As soon as the FF starts to turn colors (tan to brown) I replace it. The syringes come with very long needles, I just snip them with a wire cutters and then uncrimp the opening with pliers. Dollar Tree has these expandable cylindrical holders(can be used for posters, hooks, anything) that's what I store the syringes in. Sorry for the novel. Thanks for all ur content, it's really great. Best of luck to you.
Thanks for the felting needle tip. I have been burying and splitting my yarn for some time now and have not had any problems with yarn sticking out but some of my older work has little bits poking out. I'll get busy with a felting needle with them.
I made a granny hex blanket for my daughter and since joining them, I’ve had a bunch of ends pop out. I bought some felting needles yesterday and I’m excited to try them to keep them contained
The felting needle idea was a game changer for me as I’m currently doing a Granny Square afghan. . I also needle felt so had the needle and pad on hand. Can’t thank you enough for this tip. I’ve never seen it elsewhere.
Thank you so much for your tips. I have an old afghan that I have that has some wayward ends. I'm going to try your felting needle tip to fix it. Again, thank you!😊
Oh I’m going to try the felting needle, thanks! I made a cow with blanket yarn and all the popped out when my granddaughter played with it! It looks like a hot mess lol. I’m going to sew then with thread like you suggested. I think it will work great. Thanks for the great tips😊
Happy Sunday to you Roz . Another great tip . I've never used the felt method , but will definitely try it . I have plastic canvas needles as well as S Bates needles because I used to make lots of plastic canvas projects and still does occasionally . Every week I learn something new from you . Great job 👏 . Enjoy your day along with the boys .
I‘m kinda proud I came up with these on my own. Especially the weaving into the yarn gives me an extra safe feeling. You know how you can pass the tail through the stitches after you‘ve finished? On the way back, weave through this tail yarn once or twice. You’re basically imitating the Russian join for your tail end. Just make sure to stretch out the space where you’re hiding it, so that the fabric stays flexible afterwards.
@@PlayHookywithMe You know when you pass the tail through the bottom of the stitches of the last row? I do that for up to ten stitches, then stretch the fabric so the tail sits loosely, then double back inside those bottoms while piercing through the loosened tail several times. It’s super simple to do, but incredibly hard to explain with words. =)
You have the best tips! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise! I also love your cat, so beautiful! Reminds of a cat we had many years ago...I still miss her. she was 18 when we lost her.
Great! If she doesn’t want any knots in the middle of her work, I’d recommend she watches this too : Join Yarn the INVISIBLE Way - NO KNOTS, NO TAILS 🤩 3 Ways th-cam.com/video/ieRCqG4EbNs/w-d-xo.html
Thank you I will definitely try ! I only crochet garments to wear, and it annoys me so much when after wearing them and washing them the little tails start to come out.
I have recently woven my ends in the usual way and then add a tiny bead of fabric glue to the underside of the end in an inconspicuous place. Then, after some time to allow the glue to dry, snip the end off close to the glued spot.
Ooooooo……. I was already doing the first two techniques but I had never thought to do the felting. I already have all the felting tools so I will definitely try this next time.
Ugh. My number one issue. I've watched so many videos, sought advice and no matter how well I think I've sewn those ends in they still pop out. I feel I do what you suggest in this video but shall keep trying. The tips on the needle work was new as well as finishing off under a heavy stitch and the chunky yarn stitch. I shall not give up. Thanks so much
I hear you. Ultimately , I think we all need to accept that it is a handcraft and going to happen. So far these are the ones that have helped me the most … fabric glue is always an option but I try to stay away from it as often as I can 💕
I have started weaving my ends through the stitches I’m about to work for the next row. I take a yarn needle and pick up the back loops of about an inch or so of stitches (like I’m working an invisible decrease), then pull the end through. Then I do it back the other way, and continue with the next row. I make sure it’s not pulled tight, but it covers everything up and is perfect for color changes.
Holy moly this is helpful! I always struggle with the dang ends. I’m going to use these tips for the rest of my blanket I’m making right now that changes color every row…
As I weave in ends, once I’ve completed my first weave I go back stitch from my last exit and start again I do a gentle tug on my yarn before cutting off. Leticia
I learned a long time ago to leave at least an inch and a quarter. Run it all in, even if i've run out, i'll take a bit out and have 3 long tails rather than one short one by addind yarn in. On a granny square, go through the base of stitches, then through the ravel edge berween, at the back loop only, and through the next bar of stitches too, I don't usually cut more of my ends, they need length to stay in there.
Thank you soo much! One of my roommates has a granby sguare afghan yhat was made for her last Christmas. There are short pieces hanking from most of the squares! Just t yint and o figure out best way to approach it!
you can also take a tapestry needle and work that end back in (going backward ) to re tuck that end in place. A bit hard to explain but I’ll be sharing in my next video on Sunday ❤️
Thanks for the tips. In your opinion, can you do too many passes to weave in the ends? Sometimes, I'll do three but then I have more yarn left so I do a few more. I spend so much time that it really becomes a chore! Do you usually do three with a tapestry then a few more with a sharper needle? Or just start with the sharper needles? 💜Your kitty is adorable.💜
You can’t do too much weaving in yarn but 3 really is all you need if they are going in opposite directions. Just 3 total with the sharp needle . 👍🏻 Sometimes if it’s a long tail then two passes is all you need with this technique. Thank you 😻😽
Hi friends, I hope you enjoy these tips. If you have a favorite solution of your own, I'd love to know! xx
@PlayHookywithMe, A tip I've learned: if you end up w/a very short piece, or your tucking in has come out, weave the needle into the fibers WITHOUT threading that end through your needle; after you have the needle weaved in, thread it, THEN pull that short end piece through. You are most welcome!!

I feel I do what you suggest in this video but shall keep trying. The tips on the needle work was new as well as finishing off under a heavy stitch and the chunky yarn stitch. I shall not give up. Thanks so much
I hear you. Ultimately , I think we all need to accept that it is a handcraft and going to happen. So far these are the ones that have helped me the most … fabric glue is always an option but I try to stay away from it as often as I can 💕
Well for petes sakes, i never knew that about felting the ends in! Clever indeed!!!
I have started weaving my ends through the stitches I’m about to work for the next row. I take a yarn needle and pick up the back loops of about an inch or so of stitches (like I’m working an invisible decrease), then pull the end through. Then I do it back the other way, and continue with the next row. I make sure it’s not pulled tight, but it covers everything up and is perfect for color changes.
Fabulous!
Thanks a bunch! I've always got a tail sneaking out here and there. ♥
Holy moly this is helpful! I always struggle with the dang ends. I’m going to use these tips for the rest of my blanket I’m making right now that changes color every row…
Wonderful! 😀❤️
Just what I needed!
Please, the editing, I love you.
As I weave in ends, once I’ve completed my first weave I go back stitch from my last exit and start again I do a gentle tug on my yarn before cutting off.

I learned a long time ago to leave at least an inch and a quarter. Run it all in, even if i've run out, i'll take a bit out and have 3 long tails rather than one short one by addind yarn in. On a granny square, go through the base of stitches, then through the ravel edge berween, at the back loop only, and through the next bar of stitches too, I don't usually cut more of my ends, they need length to stay in there.
Thank you! I've been waiting for help with this! Perfect timing!
I didn't even know that I needed to know the chunky yarn one, thank you!
So glad it helped 😀❤️
Brilliant episode. Thank you for sharing the ways of hiding threads. Kind regards
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😀

thanks for including blanket yarn!
Absolutely 🙌🏻💕
Thank you for the chunky idea. Why didn’t I think of this???????
Thank you soo much! One of my roommates has a granby sguare afghan yhat was made for her last Christmas. There are short pieces hanking from most of the squares! Just t yint and o figure out best way to approach it!
you can also take a tapestry needle and work that end back in (going backward ) to re tuck that end in place. A bit hard to explain but I’ll be sharing in my next video on Sunday ❤️
First time watching good ideas I will be ordering the felt needles 😊
Wonderful!
This is very helpful, thank you!

So glad! 🧶❤️
some great tips there, Thank you
Thank you for the Feltwork tip!
Thanks for the tips. In your opinion, can you do too many passes to weave in the ends? Sometimes, I'll do three but then I have more yarn left so I do a few more. I spend so much time that it really becomes a chore!
Do you usually do three with a tapestry then a few more with a sharper needle? Or just start with the sharper needles?
💜Your kitty is adorable.💜
You can’t do too much weaving in yarn but 3 really is all you need if they are going in opposite directions.
Just 3 total with the sharp needle . 👍🏻
Sometimes if it’s a long tail then two passes is all you need with this technique.
Thank you 😻😽
Thanks I have so much trouble with this❤
So glad you enjoyed it 💕
