Date
Saturday, October 17, 2020
Time
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM (EDT)
Description
When joining new yarn, the ideal splice is smooth, strong, and nearly invisible. We'll practice spit splicing, the Russian join, and many other ways to start a new ball of yarn, including special options for color work. We'll talk about the pros and cons of each, plus better ways to weave in ends when you can't or shouldn't splice.
