Hei Anna. Om mulig og om det er strikket frem og tilbake, ville jeg ha festet trådene i siden. Hvis ikke, festet de i vrangmaskene på baksiden. mvh DROPS Design

Bjr, je tricote un trendy châle avec du kid silk en double. Pourriez vous m'indiquer une vidéo pour apprendre à changer de pelote et comment rentrer les fils. merci.

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Nicole, vous pouvez simplement tricoter les 2 extrémités (la fin de pelote + le début de la nouvelle) sur quelques mailles, ou bien faire un noeud, essayer un double noeud ou bien encore le joint russe ou toute autre méthode de votre choix. Cette vidéo montre comment rentrer les fils quand on tricote au point mousse. Bon tricot!

Kan man bara klippa av tråden då man stickar med halkigt garn, typ bomull/bambu eller ska man fästa änden på något sätt?

Hei Monica. Anbefaler å feste trådendene i et arbeid. mvh DROPS design

Bonjour, je tricote présentement un foulard en point d'abeille, une maille en endroit et l'autre en envers et je fais le contraire au deuxième rang, je tricote 8 rangs d'une couleur, 8 rangs d'un autre couleur également pour le troisième rang, trois couleurs en tout. Ma question est, lorsque je change de couleur, es-ce que je dois couper le fil du rang précédent avant de commencer une autre couleur et comment entrer le fil pour qu'il ne paraisse pas de chaque côté. Merci.

Bonjour Mem De Carufel, vous trouverez ici comment tricoter des rayures - vous pouvez également changer les couleurs comme dans cette technique en fonction du nombre de mailles de bordure que vous avez de chaque côté. Votre magasin vous trouvera la meilleure méthode adaptée à votre modèle, n'hésitez pas pas à le contacter, même par mail ou téléphone. Bon tricot!

Men hva gjør man med trådenden? Bare klipper den av? Vil den ikke skli ut, eller stikke gjennom på rettsiden?

02.11.2019 - 17:01

DROPS Design :

Hei Jorun. Når du har festet trådenden på baksiden et stykke, klipper du tråden. Som regel vil trådenden holde seg på baksiden, men er du usikker, ta gjerne en sjekk etter en kort tids bruk av et plagg. Garnende i ull vil holde seg mer på plass en f.eks et glatt bomulls - og lin garn. Å feste tråder i disse kvalitetene, ta en titt på video: "Hvordan feste bomullstråder". God Fornøyelse!

Bonjour , merci pour la vidéo . A la fin est ce qu’on coupe le fil qui reste ? A quelle Hauteur ? Ou on fait un noeud .. merci beaucoup

29.06.2019 - 15:25

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Coraline, à la fin, coupez le fil près du bord, si vous l'avez bien "tissé" plusieurs fois dans les mailles, il ne se défera pas. Si vous utilisez un fil composé de différents brins, vous pouvez divisez ces brins en 2 groupes par exemple et les tisser tous les 2 de cette façon dans 2 endroits différents pour plus de sécurité. Bon tricot!

Hvordan kan det være at efter at have hæftet enderne så kommer de nogle gange op på retsiden efter vask? Især med bomuldsgarn. Meget irriterende!

Hej Lena, Vi har mange forskellige videoer som viser hvordan man hæfter ender, gå ind på Montering og Hæfte tråde - ens for alle er at man hæfter på langs på den side som ikke skal vende ud.

Crochet tip for fastening strands

In this DROPS video we show how to avoid sewing many strands after colour change. Work the first 2 stitches at beginning of every row with new colour with double yarn (same colour). Then place yarn end along stitches from previous row and work around it so that the yarn end is hidden inside the stitches. In addition should the yarn end left at the end of row also be placed along the stitches when turning the piece to work around this yarn end as well. The way the strands are fastened without using a needle. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You must read the pattern to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find a pattern where you can use this technique by clicking on one of the picture below.

Weave in Cotton tails

Your knitted or crochet work is finished and you need to weave in the tails... When using a cotton yarn, especially when it's thicker, it can be tricky. The tails will show and also may come out again when washing and wearing. A great trick is to split the strand into multiple thinner strands and then sew these thinner strands away in different directions. This usually comes out invisible and will not come undone. To see a pattern where you can use this technique, please see: DROPS 139-40 or click on one of the pictures to the left.

Weaving in tails in ribbing

Our sample is a 2 by 2 ribbing. Always weave in your tails on the wrong side of your rib knitted piece. With the needle and yarn go to the first section of K sts, weave through each stitch diagonal for 5-7 sts, turn and go down through each st on the other side of the stitch. As you can see with this method your weaved in tail will not show on your right side.

How to weave in end when working a new color in the round

When knitting with multiple colors or when just changing from one to another color, you can weave in the end as you continue with the new color. When you start the new color you want to make sure to twist the loose end around your previous color to avoid a hole, then place the working yarn behind the tail, and pick up the yarn alternating above and under the tail end to weave it in. Weave for about 4-6 sts and then you can cut the remaining tail. This way you don't have to fasten the threads at the end.
