How to Join a New Skein of Yarn

Running out of yarn doesn’t mean stopping your project. Use one of these beginner-friendly methods to connect a new skein of HOMBYS Chunky Chenille Yarn.

Method 1 — Overlap and Weave

Overlap the old and new yarn ends across several stitches. Continue knitting while holding both strands together, then weave the remaining ends securely into the blanket.

Method 2 — Secure Knot

Tie the two yarn ends together with a small, firm knot. Trim only the excess ends, leaving enough yarn to help prevent the knot from loosening. Conceal the finished join inside nearby stitches.

Important Safety Note

HOMBYS Chunky Chenille Yarn is made from polyester. Do not use an open flame to join or seal the yarn. Polyester may melt, burn, or produce potentially harmful fumes when exposed to high heat or flame.

HOMBYS Tip

When possible, add a new skein near the edge of the blanket. This makes the connection easier to conceal and helps keep the visible surface neat.
