Russian Bind

How do you join two ends of yarn without a knot? My favorite method is the Russian Bind.

1.  This can be used with yarn (or rope) of uneven sizes. Begin by looping the two ends over each other. Thread one end into a needle.

2. Sew the yarn back into itself,  working the needle in and out.

 3. Flatten the yarn. Remove the needle.

4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the other piece of yarn.





5. Ta da! No knot!
