“HOW TO WIND A YARN BALL BY HAND” – BY HILARIA FINA

También disponible en: Español

You are crocheting, you pull the tail and the ball does not stop moving from all sides, it is as if it were alive: it falls to the floor, it rolls meters and meters, it gets under the couch, it gets tangled in the leg of the table, a disaster really. Solution: crochet with the tail coming out from inside de ball.

Make your own yarn balls without a yarn winder, using only your hands.

Do you enjoy winding yarn balls, or do you find it a boring and tedious task?

INSTRUCTIONS |

1 | Leave approximately 10 cm of yarn; this will serve as the end to pull and unwind.

2 | Hold the tail and start wrapping it around your thumb and index finger, forming a figure-eight shape about 10-12 times, and then another 10-12 times around (without forming the figure-eight).

3 | Gently remove the yarn from your index and thumb.

4 | Keep holding the yarn and start wrapping it around.

5 | Always make sure to wrap the yarn in the same direction.

6 | Avoid wrapping too tightly and keep your thumb in the center throughout the process.

7 | Be careful not to lose the yarn end; if it becomes too short, gently pull on the end to get a bit more yarn.
