Making a Center Pull Yarn Ball

| 1 Comment

After you have been knitting or crocheting for awhile, it does not take long before you start collecting leftover yarn pieces. Normally, I have wrapped these into balls of yarn. In fact, I do this often too when I have a skein of yarn that does not want to cooperate and pull from the middle like it should. (Don’t you hate that?) Then I saw this very cool center pull yarn ball method over that KnitFreedom.com and was amazed! No more pulling on the yarn and it rolls all over the place!

I tried the method demonstrated on the video below, and once I started getting the hang of it, I realized how simple it really is. One issue I did have, however, is that for larger yarn pieces, it can be a little challenging since my hand is only so big and you wrap the yarn around your fingers in a figure 8. But for smaller yarn pieces, this is now my “go to” method for wrapping.

Welcome to the Crafty Princess Diaries, my weblog and site where I get to blab about my passion for crafts, primarily jewelry making, and my crafting career. My name is Tammy Powley, and I decided to call my blog the Crafty Princess Diaries because of this very dorky picture I have of myself and because my husband often refers to me as “the princess and the pea,” which is just another way to say that I tend to be particular sometimes. Along with this weblog, I have a number of jewelry making books published.
