Yarn Quickie: Hand wind a ball of yarn correctly

[@wandamuise2636]

This is the way I have always wrapped my yarn balls. Great tip for every one!

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Wanda Muise thank you so much for your wonderful feedback

[@ashlinraine2089]

This is a great way to hand wind yarn if you don't like centre pull for whatever reason. I make my hand wound balls in a similar way, but start it so that it will be a center pull. This video was a great idea to make, Clare.

G'day Ashlin Raine thank you so much ! Happy crochet ❤

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Christine Bell thank you for your comment. You can get quite quick at it too

[@VioletPapillon]

I love my yarn winder! All those leftovers, wind up in seconds. ♥ But this way of winding by hand seems very practical too!

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day VioletPapillon thank you so much ! Happy crochet ❤

[@terrieblackett9259]

Handy tip. I always did it the way you showed first and it did stretch out the yarn and make it thinner!

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Terrie Blackett thank you so much for watching my video, happy crochet!

Thank you for sharing this. I am sure so many of us have been winding our yarn the wrong way, including me. Now I know the proper way to wind my yarn. 🧶 ♥️

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Dee Talbott thank you so much ! Happy crochet ❤

[@Omaknitta]

I also do it this way, except I always hold on to the beginning tail so it can be a center pull ball.

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Oma Knitta thank you so much for your wonderful feedback

[@danak8185]

That’s brilliant! I’ve never thought about making a hand-rolled ball into a center-pull!

[@maree.l0ck]

Thank I only recently stared crocheting at the start of lockdown and I had a few yarn balls falling apart so this helped a lot

[@CrochetwithClare]

Excellent, crochet is a lot of fun and you can make so many different items. Glad you found the video helpful.

[@KatytheNightOwl]

Thanks Helpful info.

[@dianne1214]

Interesting. I’d never real thought about it. If I just have a small amount I wrap around my hand and then tie at top an bottom to keep it neat. But bigger balls I will give your way a go.

That is similar to the way I wind my yarn. But I have noticed that it has been getting stretched out so I am going to try your way.

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Shurtorra Wold thank you so much for watching my video, happy crochet!

Wow, actually seems easier as well. The other way, I sometimes lose my grip and the ball goes flying out of my hand, lol. Thanks for this. My new method😁❤️

Bob Wilson 123-Thanks for the tutorial. Should a crocheter or knitter always rewind into a ball all the yarn to be used in a project, like 3-ply or 4-ply knitting worsted? Kindest greetings.

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Zoraida García thank you for your comment, if the yarn is already in a ball and ready to use i wouldn't worry. I only rewind if it is in a skein, also called a hank of yarn. It looks like a huge loop of yarn. They do need to be rewound

[@zoraidagarcia625]

@@CrochetwithClare Thanks for your answer and for helping me with this doubt. I keep watching.

[@Sophira1]

Thanks! I am off to join your Fb group!

[@susannereniers5477]

Instead of your fingers you can do it whit a toiletclosset, and then you can also work from the middle.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you Susanne Reniers for your suggestion, I really appreciate it

[@sandraficara7265]

I wrap this way as well once a b-ball breaks down. Just a question if you wrap on a yarn winder does it stretch the yarn.? It’s always so tight I’m afraid of it. I owned a ball winder both small and large. This question has always bothered me. Just looking for an answer .

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Sandra Ficara thank you for your comment. Yes if you wind it into cake and the cake is tight it will stretch your yarn, what I do if it comes out really tight i will re-cake it. They say to only cake up your yarn if you are going to use it soon for a project

[@sandraficara7265]

Thank you! I appreciate your answer

[@jygood3718]

YAY

[@katibere1966]

That’s how I do it because I don’t like it when the yarn gets super wrinkled and crushed

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day katibere1966 thank you so much for watching my video, happy crochet!

[@joanietritschler9862]

So what do you do with the yarn that's already wound the other way cause I am looking at mine now shall I unwindall if my yarn balls?

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Joanie Tritschler I guess it is up to you. If the yarn has been wound the other way for a while, it probably is already stretched

Why is your channel named ‘bobwilson123’?

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Mary-Louise Preston thank you for your comment. Bob was my dog, Wilson is after the volley ball in the movie Cast Away with Tom Hanks, 123 was random. Originally it was to sign up to KZbin. Never did I think that anyone would know the username, if for a moment I did I would of picked something crochet related haha
