I'm knitting a scarf with chunky yarnI have two of the same brand/color/type but one is thicker than the otherWhen I began knitting with my second skein I noticed that it was less fluffy than the first, so the knitting is thinner and not as softThe first one I was working with produced knitting that is thick and lushThe second one seems thinner, though, and looks like I'm using a different type of yarn altogether, so I unraveled the little bit of knitting I did with the second skeinAlso, I can't find this color at any craft stores or I would just buy one that was fuller like the first oneI've been knitting for a couple of years but have never come across this problemI just want to know if I can do something to the yarn that will make it fluff upThanks!
You need what they call a (star) nozzle and baking shop will have oneJust fill your piping bag with that nozzle and pipe it out, the nozzle cuts into the icing on its way out and shapes it like thatGood luck :)
If a yarn has been stored tightly for a long time, it may become compressedAll you need to do it give it a good shake and then let it sit for awhileIt will return to its normal stateHowever, I don't think you can fluff up any yarn to make it thicker and chunkyIf there isn't enough fibres in your yarn, there isn't enoughYour yarn is going to be thinner no matter what you doYou did not get the same yarnSometimes the manufacturer will change the yarn, but still use the same nameThis is especially true if you bought them at different timesYou will never be able to find the same dye lot at another timeThat is why you are always told to get enough to finish your projectOne skein is hardly enough for a scarfdidn't your instructor explain this to you? There is not much you can do nowYou can try asking on ravelry and see if you can find that same dye lotYou can get a contrast or coordinating colour of the same yarn and use that on the outside bordersDo both ends, and it will look planned that wayYou may have to rip it all out and use it for something elseSorry.
