Two Color Knitting Tricks
Hi Stacie,
Have you done a video on winding a skein of yarn into a ball without the use of a swift or ball winter. Listening to the question about winding the yarn into a ball and getting into a big tangled mess. Wondering if he had the skein draped over the back of one chair or two? I use two chairs back to back to keep the yarn under tension.
Love your podcasts and videos.

An other useful trick to avoid getting tangled : before winding, put your two hands into the loop of the skein and give it 2 or 3 good brisk tugs. It is also important to keep the skein well tensed during the winding process.
