This video demonstrates a method for smoothing and straightening a few yards of kinked-up yarn, after you’ve ripped back to correct a mistake. If you have more than a few yards to straighten, you’ll want to follow the technique I demonstrate in this video, Reusing Yarn.
The shawl on the mannequin is my Learn to Knit an Aran Shawl, pattern + video tutorial.
A blocking board like mine can be found here.
My “Embrace the Swatch” mug can be found here.
Wow: Great video. I will use that hint next time I have some kinky yarn. thank you. Love your videos, you make things so much easier.
PS the bottom of your iron could use a cleaning. 😀
