I just finished a rug that I made holding 2 strands of yarn and using a large hook.
This gives the rug more stiffens and allows for better wear.
This is probably only a handful of projects that I have ever done using 2 strands. My first couple of projects I carefully rolled my yarn into 2 balls and began to crochet. Problem with that is I always ran out of yarn on one ball and didn't have a free end on the left over ball to finish the rug. UGH! Highly irritating.
Now however I look for yarn that has what I fondly call a belly-button. Really it is yarn that has a center end free so that you can unravel it from the inside-out.
Then I take that yarn and the outside yarn and crochet with them!
I never run out on one ball with just
a few more rows until completion!Last photo shows me crocheting with the 2 ends of the same skein.
Hope this works for you!
