Crochet designer and author Twinkie Chan shows you two easy ways to turn a hank of yarn into a center-pull ball. While most yarns from big craft stores come in skeins—ready to use with a convenient yarn tail—many yarns from local shops are sold in hanks. A hank is a large loop of yarn twisted into itself, and if you try to work directly from it, you'll quickly end up with a tangled mess. That’s why learning to wind your own center-pull ball is a must. Twinkie walks you through the process with and without a yarn swift and ball winder, so you're covered either way.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Hank of yarn to wind
- Scissors
- Chair legs or similar
- Ball winder
- Swift
