If what I'm about to ask has already been discussed, forgive me. Long thread. short time.

I have found some great instructions on how to make dreads out of synthetic hair, but no luck with how to actually make yarn dreads. What I want to know is this:

1) How do you treat the yarn to turn it into a dread?

2) Is the process similar to that of synthetic hair? how so?

3) Aside from lace and yarn, do I need any other chemicals or materials to create good sturdy dreads? If so, what? Or any suggestions or tips on how to make the yarn dreads good quality and long lasting?

thank you so much. I've been all over the web researching this. The hair gods must me snickering at me.
