EvilPixie Jun 2020 2:51pm, 5 Jun 2020 17,635 posts	Quote Pin EvilPixie Question for the knitters I have a skein that I want to knit with double (as in 2 strands instead of 1 to make it thicker) what's the best way to do this?
panad Jun 2020 3:04pm, 5 Jun 2020 1,714 posts	Quote Pin panad EP I would wind them into Individual balls, and then just hold them together as I knitted them. Depending on your knitting style and how well behaved they are you might want/need to put them in separate bags/one on each side of you etc so they don’t tangle whilst you‘re knitting!
HellsBells Jun 2020 3:05pm, 5 Jun 2020 26,874 posts	Quote Pin HellsBells I‘d wind it into 2 balls, you can knit with 2 ends of the same ball but I get into an awful tangle if I try
EvilPixie Jun 2020 3:15pm, 5 Jun 2020 17,637 posts	Quote Pin EvilPixie so I need to unwind the skein chop in 2 then wind? Or is there a smart way to split the skein?
HellsBells Jun 2020 3:16pm, 5 Jun 2020 26,875 posts	Quote Pin HellsBells Weigh the skein, start winding, weigh the ball - when it‘s half the weight, cut and start again
EvilPixie Jun 2020 3:17pm, 5 Jun 2020 17,638 posts	Quote Pin EvilPixie see I knew there would be a clever way to do it!
panad Jun 2020 3:20pm, 5 Jun 2020 1,715 posts	Quote Pin panad 😂 (I’d do it the same as HellsBells...but it depends how much yarnbarf you want to make 🤪)
