Yarn Earings
This is an elegantly simple design, made just with rings on a single shuttle. An 8mm bead is fixed to each earring as part of the finishing loop. Use the Larks Head join to keep everything smooth. Again Karen Cabrera is my go-to for this technique, I use the original #85. Use small, decorative sized picots. There needs to be enough room to allow two joins, but still keep everything in tight. Don’t tat in the end at the beginning, use it to secure the bead and tension at the end. R1: 16-8 R2: 1...
