Winding a skein into a centre-pull ball

February 19th, 2007 by ariadne

Now that we have the Noni Bags available, we thought we would mention that many of the patterns require one skein of one colour, but with two strands of yarn held together. Now it’s not a problem if you don’t have a ball winder. Enjoy!

Turns out you don’t need a ball winder after all!

Okay, I LOVE mine, and wouldn’t part with it for the world. But if you don’t mind hand-winding your skeins, there is a non-toilet-paper-tube method for winding a centre pull ball. It’s even pretty easy, as long as the skein doesn’t get tangly—and you can’t blame us for that.

Ready?

1.Untie the skein, and identify the outside loose end. For easiest unwinding, stretch it out over your feet, your knees, the back of two chairs, your partner’s hands or any other convenient location. Ariadne does not endorse the use of pets for yarn-holding purposes, as this always ends in tears and soggy, tangled yarn.

2.Hold the loose end in your left hand (or right hand, if you are left-handed) with your thumb up in the “OK” sign. Make sure to leave a good couple of inches free.

3.Begin winding the yarn around your thumb, with the loose end hanging down your hand.

(Keep going . . . this is the part where we skip all the work and pull the already finished cake out of the oven. Oh the magic of the internet!)

4.Wind ALL of the yarn around your thumb. You can rotate the ball around on your thumb if you need to, but don’t take the ball off your thumb until you’re finished. You may or may not say “what a good girl am I” at this point in time.

5.Pull the ball off your thumb and admire its beauty and usefulness. Just keep it away from the pets.

 

又撓得好整齊啊，下次試下先，不過都幾花時間！！！
