The fact is that such a yarn can be pulled and then the final loops will turn out less, and the difference in the thickness of the fingers is leveled.
If you are right, then dial the loops on the left hand. Tailing threads first put on top to the index finger, then - under the middle, after - on Unnamed, and finally - under the little finger.
Return the thread in the reverse order: to the little finger, under the name of the middle and around the index. Similarly, we recruit the second row. Make sure that when the hinge set, the thread remains between the index and middle finger.
Now they are signed by the rows: we remove the second loop through the first. We repeat this procedure on all your fingers.
Similarly, the first spelling the second row is true, the hinge set is starting here from the middle finger. Do not forget also at the end of the set to wrap the loop around the index finger and hold the tail between the index and middle finger.
Further, this technique is an infinite repetition of the second row until you get the desired thick yarn length. Now you own appliances and can create a wonderful thick yarn! And this yarn can be fantasy, it is only worth mixing several different colors or threads of different textures.
