That's a very neat way of carrying up the yarn and it's great that it doesn't affect the stretch of the fabric.

Love this technique. Thank you so much.

Thanks for the video! I am finally venturing into variegated knitting projects, and it helps to know as many techniques to adapt to the projects as possible.

❤❤❤ this is great technique, thank you!

[@10rowsaday]

You are most welcome, my friend :-)

Thank you! Saved for future reference, like when I’m working in a shawl (hmmm, or a cardigan w stripes…!). If I’m making a shawl & using a larger needle (looser fabric), cutting & weaving in ends doesn’t always look the best. This technique is perfect! And bonus tip w I-cord edges! Perfect!

[@helenramsey9395]

Fabulous, thank you for that! ❤️

I'll definitely be using this for my next stripey shawl! I just finished one and wish I'd known this trick 😂

[@adelemain6374]

Fantastic, and so clearly demonstrated! Well done?

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you, Adele 🙏

[@penkast1605]

Love this solution! I don’t like weaving ends!

[@reneej6579]

Thanks, that’s a unique way of carrying the yarn upwards! I have saved it for future reference and will definitely use your method in future.
