To lock a color: drop the yarn of color just ‘completed, take the yarn of color to be used next and put this yarn under the yarn dropped (pull the st. tightly of color completed) and K or P the st. on left needle. The secret of having an even joining is to pull the yarn of st completed very tightly and make first two sts. of new color. very tight, Increase one st, at each end of needle on the uh row but when 4 rows from where the color was started move into the Grayelle with Bouclé De Laine one st. at each end (or stripe).
