Winding a Center Pull Ball of Yarn by Hand

In this video Megan LaCore of www.theartofmegan.com shows you how to hand-wind a center pull ball of yarn from a hank. Though this technique is shown with a handmade hank of yarn, any kind of yarn wrapped in any preparation can be wound into a center-pull ball with this method.

For more information on spinning and preparing yarn, visit www.theartofmegan.com or view Megan's other videos on Youtube. Thanks for viewing!

Lovely, clear concise instructions. Thank-you.

WOW what big yarn you have there!

Why doesn't yarn come the way you've wound it? Why do they sell it in hanks (short for Henry's?)? Hey how about a rubber band to hold that tail of yarn to your wrist so you don't have to do that funny thing with your thumb?

Thanks! This totally saved me a trip to the knitting store on a snowy day!

Very nice! I was looking for a good tut on this, and this one is perfect. I'm winding sock yarn from the hank. I use two or three fingers too, and this showed me what i was doing wrong(just going around and around and around in a circle.) Now I'll criss cross. :) some other videos had methods using a thumb or a thumb and a pinky, but this seems best. :)
