great success with yarn wefts!

Hi all! This is me showing some great success I had with creating yarn wefts. I used some yarn that was on sale from Hobby Lobby and the brand I believe was “I Love Yarn”. It is 100% acrylic. I just tied it to a paintbrush with Mozekyto’s method and then used a wire brush and manual unraveling. Then I pressed several times with a straightener. It definitely took a while, but the wefts come out to just about 10in. Wow!

I guess it really just depends on the brand of yarn! I believe mine was described as “anti-pill” so maybe that helped somehow too? Not sure!

 

Here it is. I didn’t follow it to a T- I made my yarn loops really long and used a paintbrush to tie them to instead of the recommended green mesh material. I’m really not sure why mine turned out so different! It is still thin at the ends but it isn’t very shiny and holds together nicely. Maybe unraveling it with my hands helped the most.

 

I got some more! It’s actually I love THIS yarn. Available at Hobby Lobby!
