What is joining yarn?
When you need to use the next ball of yarn during knitting or crocheting, you'll need to join the yarn. My frequently used joining method is Weaver's Knot.

What is weaving in ends?
After completing the knitting or crocheting, neatly weaving in the ends of the yarn can enhance the overall quality of the piece. A good method of weaving in the yarn can also increase the lifespan of the fabric.
Simple method
Simply thread the yarn through the stitches then trimming the excess. This method is suitable for fabrics that are static and not frequently stretched.

Back and forth method
Weaving the yarn end through the stitches in at least two directions. This prevents the yarn end from coming loose due to pulling during fabric use. Suitable for clothing, bags, and other fabrics that are frequently subjected to stretching.
