Before you can even start cross stitching you will need to get from a skein of thread (or floss!) to something you can stitch with.
I'll show you the best way to pull the thread from your skein and then pull out individual strands without it becoming a tangled mess...and it's really simple!

@catkinandlillie Год назад

Yay! So happy my video helped you 😄

@catsarethebestpeople5790 Год назад

Thanks for sacrificing that first skein to show us! 😆 I've been guilty of that - in fact, I'm starting to realise I've developed and kept some very bad habits during 30-odd yrs of cross-stitching.

@catkinandlillie Год назад

I still haven't dealt with that skein 😂 I like to say there's no right or wrong way to cross stitch...only the way that's right for you and if that includes 'bad habits' then so be it! If you're having fun then it's all good 😄

I was going to say that too! I have 3 spoiled skeins before I looked up this video.

As a beginner I love this tutorial! you teach things really well. I cannot learn if I don’t understand why something needs to be done a certain way. So you showing what would happen if done the wrong way THEN the right way is brilliant, and made things clear as water! great teacher

Thank you so much, that's really sweet of you 😊 I'm delighted I made it so clear for you...and yup, I definitely like to understand the why of things not just the how!

@catkinandlillie 11 месяцев назад

Thanks so much and I'm glad I've hopefully saved you any more frustration and wasted thread 😄

@toadtime8549 7 месяцев назад

Thanks so much for the helpful video! Wish I found it sooner lol. Do you know if there is a way to fix tangled skeins?

@catkinandlillie 7 месяцев назад

You're welcome 😊 Sadly I think the only way to deal with a tangled skein is a lot of patience to slowly slowly unravel it. I just find one end and feed it back through all the loops and knots until it's all loose.

@yvy0503 10 месяцев назад

Hi Kat, Great advice! now I need to pull individual strands for crochet, and would like them to be full length. Do you have any advice on how to do it? Thanks in advance!💝

@catkinandlillie 10 месяцев назад

Hey, I'm delighted you found this useful and in fact I have just the answer to your question about pulling out the whole skein as part of another video. If you head to ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_39SLN9OVe4.html and timestamp 04:34 you can see me pull out the entire length of thread from the skein. I am now realising it might be helpful for me to clip this out into a separate video but hey, at least it's there for you to see!

@yvy0503 10 месяцев назад

@@catkinandlillie Fantastic!!! Thank you so much Kat! Greatly appreciated!❤

@rhiannonblue5988 5 месяцев назад

Mine don't have ends. They're tied. Also DMC.

@catkinandlillie 5 месяцев назад

I'm not entirely sure what you mean but I guess this must be a different type of DMC thread than the 6 stranded cotton embroidery thread I used in the video? I would have no idea how to deal with that I'm afraid.

@gabrielatoma9725 Месяц назад

I need to pull out one individual strand for its entire length

@catkinandlillie 28 дней назад

Ooooh, now that is a challenge. I don't think I have any further advice for this, just unwind the whole skein and lay it out as flat as you can then start pulling 1 strand. You'll probably need to slowly work it along and keep pushing the rest of the bundle of threads flat as you go. It just might not work for the whole 8m length but good luck!

@gabrielatoma9725 28 дней назад

@@catkinandlillie actually I used your technique the other day and it went so easy I couldn't believe it. I did as you say here slowly unwind the skein as I went along but it wasn't that bad. Way easier than I expected. Thank you!

@catkinandlillie 28 дней назад

Wow, that's awesome!!! Nice work 😄
