Does a Russian Join stay together? What about a similar join? I don't like knots in my work so I do it the old way - putting the new yarn through the last 2 loops of the old yarn and weave in my ends which is weaving in my ends back and forth and then back again( so the yarn doesn't come out) if I have enough yarn to weave it back and forth and back again - 3 times - otherwise I'll weave it back and forth - twice.
