How to Weave in EndsWhen doing your starting chain, always leave a length of about six inches or so before your first loop of starting chain. This length is woven in when you are finished with your project, so that the end will be secured to guard against unraveling over time. Also leave a length at the end of your project or at any time that you join a new skein because you have run out of yarn or are joining a new color. When you have finished a project, and have cut your yarn, leaving a length of about six inches, end off means to draw the last length of yarn through the loop remaining on the hook. Draw this tight. After you have threaded this yarn length on the large-eye yarn needle, you can use the needle to draw the yarn back through the last loop again to make an extra knot if you wish to, before weaving this yarn length in, as illustrated below:
