I push my finger down into the centre of the skein, pull out a small clump of yarn from the centre and find the end. I begin wrapping the end of the yarn around two fingers (around the knuckles) unail some bulfis formed. Continuing to pull the yarn from the center ! Slip the clump off your finger tips and continue to wrap the yarn around it, shaping into a ball. Nothing to it!
Jeanette, as you wind the yarn, as Susan told you, in the above entry, as I make 5-7 wraps in the ball, that I am making, I make the yarn, go in a diff area. This way the yarn will not come off the ball so easy. Just keep moving in a diff. area, and this will be very good. Bless you. J.
I saw my grannies ask another adult to put the yarn on each wrist then spread their arms wide then you can then find it easier to take the yarn and wind in to a ball.
Sally, yes I have seen this too, tho this was not explained as to how the yarn was now. Very good. This is when a friend comes in handy, or a spouse. That you for or bringing to the attention of others. Judy.
An old coat rack or a bookcase and a couple of clamps can stand in for a person to hold the skein for you to wind from, similar to these pics. Just adjust your spacing to your skein size.
Yes Ladies...The key is to wrap the yarn loosely around your fingers to keep the yarn from loosing it's softness & springiness [which happens when it is wound up too tight]; carefully remove your fingers from the yarn strands & place them back upon the outside of the ball & continue to wind the yarn around your fingers again...repeat until all the yarn is wound into a ball.
