Thank you so much, I used this technique today, and discovered that snipping a small cut into the end of the tube gives the tail a snug place to be tucked into so it doesn't flop around. Again, than you for posting.

Out of all the tutorials on here,yours was straight to the point.Thanks for making it simple to follow.:)

Very simple, I use to do it the way Elizabeth Zimmerman showed on the VCR TAPE, but, it's been a while since I have seen it and I completely forgot how to do it! This will be a huge help for me since using the tube looks SO MUCH EASIER!! Thank you for sharing and posting this!

Your channel's name made me giggle 🤭 I just needed a quick refresher to remember how to wind a ball, thank you so much for making such precise video. Videos these days are full of so much fluff and this could have easily been a 10+ minute elsewhere 😂

Oh my gosh, if only I could go back in time with this technique, I could have helped out a lot of my friends in high school.

I love this idea I have some pretty big projecets coming up & this is going to be an awesome way to this. My family is always going through paper towels like they are going out of style & now I know how what to do with one.

Awesome! glad I found this video; thanks for making it. My yarn ball winder broke and I can't afford to replace it just now, so this info. is really welcome :)

This is awesome! Using a toilet paper tube never occurred to me. Thank you so much!

The finished ball is so pretty looking and easy to do! Got yarn for Christmas but we are out of state and my yarn winder is at home. Now I can wind my yarn for the drive home :)

soooo easy!! and the ball looks absolutely professional :)

This is the first video that was helpful and made sense. Thanks!

TNKS that help a lot I just add a longer tube for a biger ball yarn but everything else is perfect.

Thank you! I've been making rolling my yarn so much harder than need be. Going to give this a try before going for a yarn winder machine thing.

lol You wound that so fast, my eyes crossed! ;) Great idea.. My yarn stash will look like art, if I can master your technique. Cool video- thank you.

Thank you for an Eco & Frugal tip!

Thank you I now do this to all my yarn!! So easy.

Thanks for that! helpful indeed,will wind all my yarn now.

When I was frogging a project, I tried to wind on toilet paper roll like this, but 5 oz of boucle did not fit. Next time for that much yarn, it will need to be a larger tube, like for paper towel. Heard another person suggest PVC pipe in whatever diameter wanted. Love KZread and everyone who shares such special tips. Thank you.

Very quick and simple! Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorial. ^_^

Finally something to help me! Thank you so much!

Thanks this was very helpful and I tried it and it worked very nicely

This is very helpful. Thanks!

Another GREAT IDEA!!! Thanks...

Haha all this time...I've been using a paper core to start a ball...this never occured to me. Brilliant.

thank you!!!! it was sooo easy

Super tip, thank you so much

the best thing to use is the tube out of an aluminum foil box, even though it's a lot smaller, the cardboard is thicker!

You're exactly right, I found one yesterday, it is thicker and stronger to use👍👍

I'm using a recycled cardboard tube from gift-wrapping paper... It's somewhere in-between the toilet paper tube and the aluminum foil box tube, diameter- and sturdiness-wise. Just cut to the length you want, and voilá! 😊

PERFECT! Thank you!

Genius. Thank you.

This is so convenient. Thanx! :)

Thank you so much.

That is amazing thanks

This is very helpful! So glad I found this video :3 Was worried I would have to buy something to do this for me! :P

fabulous

I live in terror of what happens to pull from the center yarn because I’m a bit of a klutz. What I was looking for was how to make yarn cake that can be pulled from the outside off of a yarn spindle. This method is perfect. The nicest thing about a large center in a yarn cake is that you don’t have to worry about balling your yarn to tight which stretches the yarn too much and can create an unwanted bias in your knitted garment. Many beginning knitters don’t realize that winding tight balls of yarn has unfortunate consequences no matter how much satisfaction they get from the tidiness.

How do you get the yarn “crisscross” looking when winding it on the tube? I didn’t see you turn the tube upside down or anything like that 🤷🏼‍♀️

I was wrapping from the bottom up, while turning the tube.

Honestly thought this was a great idea, but then I tried it. Paper tube collapsed halfway through, so I switched to something sturdier(plastic) but once I pulled the 'ball' off, and started knitting, the 'ball' started tangling. So badly I've now spent the better part of two days trying to save it.

+Charlie Bradshaw Yikes, I've never had that happen. Sorry you had trouble!

Wow that has got to make cat fur easier to knit. LOL

🙏🙏🙏🌸♾

That's where the thread was invented.

And I thought I was going to have to buy a ball winder. I'll give this a whirl first.

Brilliant thank you
