How to wind hanks to a yarn ball

Keywords: good to know,

In this DROPS video we show to wind hanks/skeins of yarn into yarn balls without using a yarn winder.

Loosen up the hank and put it in a circle with "inside" up. Ensure that all strands are placed properly in the circle and not crossing each other. The hank is usually tied up with some strands around the hank to keep everything in place, these strands needs to be cut and removed before you begin to unravel the hank. Start to wind the yarn around your fingers and make a ball, when the ball gets bigger, keep turning the ball as you wind so it will be a smooth and nice ball.

If you get help from someone, one can hold the hank with both hands while the other one winds the yarn. Or you can turn a chair upside down and lay the hank around the 4 legs and then wind the ball.

The video above can be used in the following patterns

Vielen Dank für die Knäulwickelhilfe. Ich habe es mir nicht do sorgfältig hingelegt. Ich denke dass der nächste Strang jetzt von mir besser gewickelt wird ich habe ja noch 2 Tausendschön Stränge. Liebe Grüsse Christa Schmitt

2 stoelleuningen gebruiken en zorgen dat de strengen zo onder spanning staan werkt het best.

Een stoelleun of 2 handen van een behulpzaam iemand, voldoet ook prima.
