Finding the center pull for your skein of yarn

[@saturncosmic4449]

I saw you pulling stuff from the middle and I did that and just a bunch came out. My mom nearly screamed when I yelled “END” because I finally found it.

[@CoachMel]

It truest is a 50/50. Sometimes it’s just a little but so many times it’s a big mess. Just need to be patient and dig for the end!!

[@Lynnefromlyn]

Yep, this is what I do,with mixed results. It’s very rare I pick out the right end right away. I do have a ball winder but as you say, it’s a faff. Would it REALLY be too difficult for yarn producers to leave the end sticking out for us?

[@CoachMel]

LOL totally agree why do they have to hide it. There are some yarns that are kind to us but they are few and far between.

I did it AHHH!!🎉 Thank you ❤

[@ShawnLawson414]

I always get the yarn barf looking for center. Then it’s all knotted up. I am anxious to try this! I have gotten so frustrated trying to untangle etc I’ve thrown good yarn away. Not much. I do have to put it down and come back to it later. Hope this helps. So glad I found your videos!

[@firefly5574]

So useful and encouraging for me to see you persisting to find the central end. Really helpful. Thanks

[@eviedun]

I do exactly what you do. 👍😂 Brilliant idea on putting those grommets on the lid. Brilliant! 🥰

[@Hamza-bt3wi]

Wow!!!! After moooonths of just battling I did this “fingers into the center of the skein” I got it the first time!!!! Thankyou soooooooooo much❤

Finally someone really helpful.

[@Bri66ette]

This was great. I always have a hard time. Your tip worked great!

[@jena6038]

Got it! It was in a big wad but easier to undo from the start than in the middle of a project. And I’m going to try the container trick!

[@mrsheller2246]

My Grandma kept her skeins each in an empty 2 liter bottle with the lead coming out of the top. Such a great idea but gotta get that center pull! Thanks for the tips.

[@CoachMel]

Glad it helped!

This was so helpful. ❤️

[@karenWiv]

That yarn you’re using. Looks lovely. What is it please 🙏

[@jakejames6533]

Thanks this helped a lot!!!😁😁😁

[@FionaC1]

It’s not the getting started I find hard when working from the middle, it’s the skein collapsing into a big heap of barf as I get to the the last third or so of the yarn. Is there a way to handle that?

[@arelygarcia9342]

Tysm for this video

[@monicalopez3459]

Thank you! It was a bit hard it felt like I was directing something 😂

[@cuddlesanddaisy]

Thank you.

[@iRaLittleKnapp]

This is exactly how I do it...I call it "disemboweling the skein."

[@monicab28]

I usually just pull the yarn barf out, find the end and the barf isn't that hard to separate.

[@yourmom-kf6ww]

This helped me so much, you have no idea i thought i would have to reroll every ball of yarn i got for the rest of my life…

[@CoachMel]

So glad to hear it was helpful!

[@Angela-Ruby]

Why don’t you just wind the skein up using a yarn winder from the center out and then you will have a cake you can use starting with the center??

[@barbarahill904]

I've been Crocheting for 50 plus years & I will not buy a skein of yarn if I can't see the end LOL

[@anitacicora2779]

Doesn’t work on bigger skeins.

[@joannehutchens7549]

I just ruined a new skein of yarn i JUST bought of this tutorial thanks!

[@SMey54]

Nobody likes yarn barf.

[@CoachMel]

And yet it happens so often!

[@jennygaber7731]
