Tip To Tip Unwinding Yarn with O'Gos | The Crochet Crowd

Crocheters asked to understand how the yarn is unwinding when you use it. In this video, I unwound the ball to a winder to show you what it looks like from tip to tip. Caron Colorama and Red Heart Super Saver O'Gos are a continuous strand that is dyed. The Bernat Blanket O'Go is cut and weaver's knot tied between colours as the technology to dye long self-striping yarn in chenille hasn't been perfected yet. . *** .

Thank you for this tutorial. I've always been curious about how the O'Go yarn unravels works while crocheting. This answered my questions. Thanks so much ❤️

Thank you so much for this demonstration. You took the “what the heck do I do with this” to simplicity. At least there is a clean cut between colors.
As always, you are the

I learned about this yarn winding tool when watching a YT video of an older retired gentleman who had taken up knitting. He would go to thrift stores and purchase really nice sweaters made of cashmere and other fine yarns. Then he would take the sweaters home and unwind the yarn using this tool using the yarn to knit a brand new sweater. Genius!! I purchased the tool the same day! It's great for hanks

I love this idea! I like the OGo but wasn't sure as to how convenient it was to use. This is a perfect solution.

Thank you Mikey, the yarn colors is beautiful . In its form, it looks like a neck warmer and you can bring it anywhere you want, just put it on your neck and crochet, lol 😘

[kathywelch]

Interesting design. I like that you can use the colors in the way you want them in your project. Thanks for the demo.

Thank you! I didn’t buy it because I thought it was a solid circle. You made it look super easy and fun!

Super, can’t wait to try it! I wasted too much time untangling yarn just last night.

So neat! I am one who prefers cakes to balls as I tend to move my work around a lot, and I find balls tangle when they are moved. Not a big deal for me as I am one of those who actually enjoys untangling yarn…but I do turn my balls into cakes most often. I think the best part of this is the fact that the company actually took the time, effort and money to develop a product to help people! If you have no problem with your yarn balls, great! Use those! If you would rather spend $.50-$1.00 more and not have to worry about tangles, you have that option too! When liquid coffee came out it didn’t replace ground coffee or instant coffee! They all exist in harmony! I hope there are some self striping options! Great videos Mikey!

This is a great concept. Thanks for your handy videos!

[coylelatte]

Anyone else find this satisfying to watch ☺

My only issue with this format is paying a premium price for a lesser amount of the same yarn😳 I very much appreciate the time you've taken to show how it works, Mikey.. but I'm sticking with the old fashioned way!

[lindadavis]

The thing I like about it is to be able to pull it apart and get the certain color that you're wanting. Mix the colors and still be on the go and don't have to have the ball winder right there with you to separate them if you're not at home or on an outing. I always take extra with me. This just brings to the next level.

I get the appeal to being tangle-free and being able to easily separate the colours, but having to crochet next to a long "snake" of yarn just seems inconvenient in many instances, and takes away some of the portability of crochet and knitting, which is one of the great benefits of those crafts. It's just one of those things where, I get it, but it's just not for me.
