#yarn #crochet #knitting friends, and anyone else really, I have a question:

I spotted a mistake in my mosaic crochet blanket so I had to rip out two rows to correct it. I then reused the same yarn to redo the ripped out rows.

When I finished them, I had a ton of spare tail left. As in, 10x longer than the original tails before I ripped out!

See photo.

I triple checked the two rows that I redid and they were all correct with no mistakes nor dropped stitches etc.

I can only assume that yarn stretches when you work it? Or is there some other voodoo magic at work here?

It’s cheap acrylic yarn by the way, double knit weight (which I think is eight strands but I’m not sure)

EDIT: forgot to say, the mistake was in one row and it was just one extra DC stitch. Not enough to explain all the extra yarn.
