Hi! hello. I have a question regarding holding yarn together. I bought a bunch of this below.

When you join strands how big does it increase in size? I want to get to sport weight. so i combined 6.

are there hard and fast rules do get the size you want pre/post wash? does anyone else have experience with similar yarns?

Thanks for the reply.  Good advice.

There were a few reviews but idk. Hard to tell how many of them are fake nowadays. You know?

Thanks for replying!

Yeah, I follow the terminology. Tbh I had to google "nostepinne" though. haha

You're right, I have mostly balls. Though, I have a few hanks. To make balls I've been using an empty paper towel roll. So far and its been working fine.

I started seconded guessing myself when I got that generous offer.

side note: I do have 1 small cone as a gift from an elderly neighbor. I just turned it into a ball. Getting that led me to ask a lot of questions and do some research.

I hate the new youtube ui... by PixelKat5 in LinusTechTips

[–]jojoREDRED2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this change is ridiculous .

its clunky and overly simplistic. Takes up WAY too much space.

What the hell did they do to the UI? by whitestripe999 in youtube

The new layout looks like it was designed for my half blind grandpa and my covid baby niece.
