    Only a yarnworker would understand how "meditative" it is to wind yarn...and how satisfying just to "spend time with yarn" when you're not working on a project!!

    “When I’m not sure what I want to crochet next but want to spend some time with my yarn.” I totally get that! 😊 Thanks for this. I do have a yarn winder that I like but I’m lazy sometimes and it’s WAY over there so I often just roll my leftover yarn into a ball. I always work from the outside but find center-pull balls are still easier to work with as they don’t roll around as much.

    My father made a nostepinne for me several years before he died, which I will treasure forever. I had just gotten into knitting, and had bought several hanks of yarn that needed to be wound. I was pleasantly surprised at just how much I enjoyed this process, as it is an art form unto itself, and it is so rewarding! Make sure you tuck the label of the yarn, if you still have it, into the center of the cake, and remember to tuck it back in again, after use, if you do not use all the yarn, so that you have all its information right there when you need it. As your yarn collection grows, you will surely regret not having that information when you need it!

    Great advice on keeping the angle at 45°. I have a ball winder, but I still roll by hand sometimes. When I first learned, I was taught to start by winding the yarn around your fingers in a figure eight. I'm going to have to test both ways and see which pulls more easily. Also, a tall, narrow pill bottle works really well for winding. You can just tuck the yarn end into the bottle and put the cap back on so you don't lose it.

  • @jspcreate

    @jspcreate

    6 ай бұрын

    Thanks for the tip, the empty pill bottle with cap is a great idea. I used to use yarn winders all the time, and realized how important that 45 degree angle seemed to be. I think I might have started with the figure eight as well. It may give the center more body. Might have to try it again. Enjoy!

    Whilst researching wool winders your video popped up on my YT home page … and I’m so glad it did. As I knit and crochet a lot of toys and decorations I mostly use a variety of smallish balls of wool - 50g (1.75oz) or less. Like my Mom and Grandmother I always rewind my balls of wool before using them to check for knots, blemishes and faults before using in a project. This has always been into round balls, which, ofc, being round can be tricky if you can’t place it somewhere it can unwind without rolling away. So I wondered if I could make ‘flat balls’ of wool as seen in many a shop. Hence the research and hence watching your video. Lovely clear, no nonsense instructions by which I have now successfully rewound some wool. Thank you so much.

    I've been looking at ball winders for a while now. If I used more indie dyed that come in skeins I would invest but I tend to buy more of the big box brands. This is great because at some point they all get difficult to work with and I can see myself doing this to all my lefovers while watching tv - or you tube!

    This is great. Since I couldn't purchase a yarn winder, I have been using an old small diameter piece of pvc pipe to wind yarn into cakes. I never considered just using my thumb instead. I wind the same way you show here just around the pipe and not my thumb. This is a great technique! Thanks for sharing! 🧶🪡

    To keep my yarn balls from falling apart, I insert a soft pipe cleaner through from hole to hole and twist gently to keep it together… I can also join same color small balls together using their pipe cleaners- (folding back the wire ends to stop snagging!) Also ,this method makes storage and visibility so much easier!

    One of the best tricks I learned early on. Another thing I do is make a slip knot and add a stitch clip (slide on one) at the end and as I wind I never loose the end. I have also found the thin bags that newspaper is delivered in as handy storage bags for wound balls! Thank you for your videos!

    GREAT winding tutorial! One thing I thought of about that center "tail" of yarn was to put a piece of tape on the end, which will keep the end visible should it get almost covered and also will be a good way for you to find that starting piece. I got the idea from HOBBI yarns which puts an "easy start" piece of paper stuck to the end for you to start pulling from the center. Thanks again for teaching me how to wind remnants MUCH better and nicer than winding it around a toilet tissue cardboard like I had been. 🙂

    You can also just make a slipknot and put a stitch marker in it (if you use those). I do this for yarn that’s really hard to see where the beginning is, like the finer ones such as mohair.
