How to - Join wool ends

This nice colorful wool came from the Sunday market.

I wanted to join this bits into one ball of yarn because I don't like knots when I knit, and this yarn is pretty thick. After a close inspection I decided how to do it:

1. split the ends

2. join the ends and roll between your fingers or palm to even

3. insert a needle with matching thread and secure so that the knot cannot be seen

4. bind the junction tightly with thread and secure the end

5. can you tell that I did this? Rather inconspicuous, isn't it?

6. the result

Did this little how-to help? Please, let me know.

Now I have to decide what to do with this nice wool. :-)
