220 super wash hand paints did come in twists. I don’t know if that is still the case. The differences are largely due to coming from different mills.
Balling by hand is aesthetically pleasing and familiar, takes little time, and I think gives superior results. My first encounter with yarn over was over 50 years ago when my great-grandmother had us wind balls for her crochet. Years later my first knitting teacher, a British woman, insisted it was prudent in order to spot knots and defects ahead of time. My husband enjoys holding his arms out for it, and if that’s not possible, the back of the kitchen chair works fine. So much nicer than tight-as-a-drum cakes!
