Spit Splicing

Thanks to a friendly Knitlist member, I have solved the problem of the knots in the wool/angora yarn I am recycling from the old sweater. Spit splicing. It works like a charm....now I have the tedium of unwinding the first ball of yarn I created, from the sleeve, and cutting the knots and splicing the yarn pieces and rerolling.

FYI, if the yarn is cotton or acrylic, you can use a Russian Join to splice lengths of yarn, although I confess to having forgotten this method. Instructions for Spit Splicing AND Russian Join both are easy to Google.
