| Felted Joins Felted joins are great for any animal fiber yarn, but especially wool. Make sure that your yarn is not a superwash (machine washable), washable wool, or synthetic or plant fiber yarns. Those yarns will not felt. From www.knittinghelp.com, "Felting will dull the yarn. Best used on yarns that are already dull. Felting works on wool and some other animal fibers. This method is especially great for scarves and other garments with no “wrong side” to hide loose ends." http://www.knittinghelp.com/video/play/felted-join-new-color The Russian Join The Russian Join allows you to join two strands of plied yarn so that there are no ends to weave in later. This a great join to use with medium weight yarns or finer that are plied and unable to be felted. http://www.knittinghelp.com/video/play/russian-join The Kitchener Stitch The following link is a video tutorial: http://www.knittinghelp.com/video/play/kitchener-stitch. The great thing about using the Kitchener stitch is that you won't leave a seam.
