I have been knitting for years, but usually I work with very fine yarn. I make a lot of Fair Isle or cable knit garments- anything that seems challenging. My problem is, I've never used a BULKY wool yarn before, and I usually don't make scarves. I'm having trouble weaving the ends in so they don't show. Usually, I can hide the ends inside the garment, but since it's a scarf, it's presenting a bit of frustration. I made a scarf for someone out of 3 balls of a chunky merino blend (100% wool, but it's treated so it can be washed). Normally, if I were in this situation, I would simply take the end of one ball of yarn, and felt it to the beginning of the next ball of yarn. No dice on this one, since it's washable. I've blocked it already, but I can still SEE where I wove the yarn back into the scarf!!! Any suggestions?
I guess that's what I get for thinking I could use chunky wool to make a scarf.
Well, if your bulky is a multiple ply yarn (as opposed to a Lopi style or Brown Sheep Bulky–although that one is really 3 ply) where the plies can be separated, separate them out and weave each ply strand in individually in different directions for a smooth finish. If it isn't a plied yarn, split it carefully and do the same thing, twisting each section up somewhat so it doesn't fall apart.
