How to switch yarn ball
Keywords: good to know,
In this DROPS video we show one way of switching yarn balls.
This technique is useful when switching from one ball to next when knitting with eg DROPS Polaris or Snow. Split the old strand in two on the last 15 cm / 6'' – cut off one part, do the same on the new strand. Place the first and last 15 cm / 6'' on top of each other so that the yarn is the normal thickness and continue to work – this is done to make the switch invisible and no ends to weave in.
You must read the pattern to be able to follow. You’ll find patterns where you can use this technique by clicking on the pictures below.
The video above can be used in the following patterns

Dag Katleen,
Nee, deze techniek is alleen geschikt voor dikkere garens, zoals Polaris en Snow.

Hallo, kan je deze techniek ook toepassen bij dunner garen bv. puna?

Dag Angelique,
Ja hoor, de techniek is niet afhankelijk van de draaddikte. We gebruiken meestal Eskimo in onze video's omdat je het dan duidelijker kunt zien, door de dikke draad.
