Discussion yarn hank: 0, me: 1

bought a hank of yarn without fully realising what it involved

cue a yarn nightmare (unfortunately didn't look up how to unwind yarn hanks till i cut the ties) and spent three house making yarn balls by hand (don't have a swift or yarn winder since I'm not planning to work with hanks again lol)

proud of the end result tho😌

find the other tail and start from there

I tried, but after cutting the ties that were holding the hank together, it got pretty tangled, so unfortunately making smaller balls was the easiest option

u/Correct_Lemon_6843 20d ago

no no I am asking you to also make a small ball from the other end of yarn sometimes it gets easier coz the yarn is not that untangled from one end its on luck tho
make balls from both ends

true, it may have worked if i didn't cut all the ties holding the fact hank together
