Title: Quick question
Post by: snowplow on August 21, 2015, 11:40:00 PM
I read a trick just a bit ago but cant find it now-

Whats a good way to hold yarn puffs in place that slide around easily?

I tie a small know with waxed dental floss on each side of the puff.

I make a much thicker yarn puff than is usual. I separate the string and insert the puff through the string. Twist the string back up on each side of the puff and string the bow. Then I trim the puff to make a small, dense ball. I've never had one slip around, but can, if I want to readjust it, "wind" it up or down the string.

I do the same as Bladepeek. My wife knitts and she gets Maine wool from a place where they process the wool to yarn.

I got some really thick wool yarn in diff. shades of gray that works great.

Two Tracks Scallops are great, easy to put on, really worked wonders on my Tip, and will last forever...
