[Nfb-krafters-korner] Puzzling question for loomers

[Dixie]

Terry,

I would suggest putting a small knot in the end of one of the yarns, say the
solid.  Then place a safety pin in the solid area so you know which way to
go with that tail when you work it in.  You can remove the small knot before
working it back in as to not leave a bump.

I am making a verigated scarf with a solid stripe in it.  I was talking to
Henry, Monday night, since no one came to the chat, and I asked him this
puzzling question!  Thankfully I have enough sight to solve this, as of now,
but when connecting a verigated strand of yarn and a solid or even 2
different colors, how do you tell the two apart, so when you weave the ends
in, you weave the verigated piece in the verigated side of the scarf and the
black in the black section.  It would be a tragity to have a strand of
black, gray and white, runny through your solid section of black.
This was really funny.  Henry thought I was a bit off my rocker.  I do not
think he understood my question for a while, but we sure got a good laugh
out of it.  Any answers for someone who is totally blind.  thankfully one
yarn is thicker than the other, in this case, but that might not always be
true.
