doubling wool?

[just-fee]

I'm no knitter but I have 10 x 50g balls of raspberry cotton yarn. I would love to make a chunky scarf could I just double up the yarn?
Also I know it sounds silly but how would I do it without making an almighty mess?
cheers

Yes you can double it. You need to wrap it into two seperate balls first. I read that you can then put both balls in a large ziplock, leaving a small opening for both yarn ends threaded through. I just place them in my lap and go at it.

My crocheted sock monkey cozies, used three strands.

Do it do it do it. Gogogo.

You definitely have enough yarn. Just take two strands from different balls and knit with them as if you're using one.

You'll need to size up your needles by a few sizes. Just experiment to see what's comfortable and looks good. I usually use size 6mm or 7mm with double 8-ply yarn.

Also, the idea that ysmeine posted sounds like a good thing to try. My knitting always gets really knotty when I try this.
