Do you have a way to keep them joined? I find the usual methods, even knots! just slip apart after awhile. Also, the ends fray so they won’t stay woven in.
Thanks in advance, Nancy

I have a hard time joining the yarns so I can change them every couple of rows.

Then cut the yarn a few inches before that point (so that you can use weave in those few inches to secure that end) and join at that point. It creates some waste, but will allow you to match up the colors.
