My first naalbinding project was a hat, and I didn’t know how to splice my yarn, so I just tied it. This time, I learned how to splice my wool yarn. It’s very easy! You unravel your ends, put one on top of the other, lick your palms to add moisture, and rub the two ends together. It’s a quick and easy felting method.

It is worth noting that this works best with 100% wool yarn. Some wool blends may work, but polyester yarn doesn’t!

Unravel your ends.
Lick your palm, and place the two frayed ends on top of each other.
Rub the ends between your palms to felt them together.
Lick your hand again if needed, and keep rubbing until it looks solidly joined.
Done!
