I’m in the middle of making a baby blanket and as I’m pulling through the middle of the skein the big tangled mess comes out. Grrrr! I thought there has to be a better way and I found this tutorial. I cannot thank you enough! I have a large mug that the yarn will fit into perfectly. No more rolling balls. No more tangled mess! You are a genius!
What a wonderful idea! A mug is perfect. See? If we all bring our ideas together, it makes it better for all of us. :D
I LOVE this! I just caught the "sewing/knitting bug" and I feel like a 5 yr old in a college class sometimes. Thank you for helping me with my yarn tangle problem. This is a very clever solution yet easy enough for this newbie to replicate. 😊
My best friend taught me this technique long ago when we were in high school. She learned it from her grandmother. I see you have a little extra finesse on yours adding the opening on the bottom. I’ll have to try that next time. Thank you!
Learned to knit and crochet when my age was a single digit and have always been annoyed with finding the center end of the skein so today I went searching and found this 7 year old treasure. Priceless. Thank you!
Easiest way to make a center pull ball of yarn ball I've ever seen, thank you for sharing
This is nothing short of pure GENIUS! How in the world you came up with such perfection, I’ll never know! Thank you for sharing - thank you for solving many an ugly mouth from profanity!
You are one of the neatest ladies ever! And that yarn sure does take on the shape of an egg, and it's decorative! I had pulled a tail out of some yarn that was a Red Heart Saver, in jumbo. I had pulled out the tail, and it all came out as a 'bird's nest' as you rightly described it-it was time-consuming, it took too long to untangle, and I was mad! The tail did not come out smoothly; it had tangles that wouldn't let the tail come out! I didn't think that this particular brand would do that! But looking at your video, that was really great.I'm hoping that all my skeins don't do what this once did. Thank you for your great video!
Thank you Patrice. I hope this helps you and your yarn situation. :^) Enjoy!
Thanks for making this! I was having a hard time with the yarn wanting to come apart at the top or bottom while making my yarn ball and this helps me a lot!!
THIS IS AWESOME! I have tried other yarn ball windings, but this is my all-time favorite, thank you for sharing it.
Aww. I'm so glad to hear it. :^)
@@2howlingmonkeys71 as a left handed person I find crocheting hard
@@mehchocolate1257 A lot if people do, but they figure it out and go on to be really great crocheters
My friend & I did this for all the left over yarns in our knitting group. She called them Oddballs.
I got it the first time with variegated yarn! Excellent how-to video! Thanks for sharing your tricks with us.
Thank you! I appreciate that.
Wow! I am just looking for valuable hints and tips to rewind balls of yarn as I often find of late how tangled or knots inside. This makes me upset especially as it often falls right in the middle of a project. So intended to invest in a ball wonder as the ball has an interesting look. However, intrigued by your marvellous technique and love the shape the winding developed into an egg shape. Another great point is being able to keep the wrapper details inside the ball. I really appreciate your sharing. Thank you very much. God bless.
Wonderful! I'm glad you found us, and I hope it helps you.
Love this; with these colors you could display them at Easter time as decorations!
Another good reason to get more yarn

Thanks for sharing. Great technique.
A small tip....... Instead of tucking in the end of the yarn, I use a child’s hair clip to hold the yarn to the skein.
I get 10 for a dollar at a Dollar Tree Store. They do the trick.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing. That's what we do. We share our ideas, so everyone can enjoy. :)
Thank you so much for this video! I found this very helpful. Holding on to a ball of yarn while winding it was always difficult and just keeping my thumb inside helps a lot. I also like being able to pull the yarn from the inside of the roll without tangling.
Thank you for sharing, really neat way of winding yarn. I have had my share of knotted yarn!!
Thank you so much, this video helped me alot!!!
It's pretty like a tulip. Thanks for sharing. :D
Thank you so much! Your ball of yarn is so small but it is a lot! I have so much yarn and I cant fit it all in my little bucket, so this was very helpful to me.
Wonderful!
thank you so much! I have found this way easier then my ball winder. No matter how hard I try the whole skein wouldn't fit. thanks for this video
Brilliant, I'll try this. I prefer this due to knots when I get towards the end of yarns. Thank you.
Well done! Thank you for sharing.
thank you for this video. i get the birds nest all the time and end up with knots.
Omgracious! This is ADORBS! And love how it works! Way to go... Thank you!
Thank you! I bought several skeins of the same dye lot; all the store had in that dye lot. When I pulled to ding the inside end-6 ends appeared! 😩 so I had to undo and wrap several “eggs.” This way of making a yarn barn is going to make it much easier to work with…
You are a genius; this is the pinnacle of all the versions on the net. Just think - it takes some practice to achieve what you have. But thanks, many thanks.
change ringer Thank you for your nice compliment. Some of a person's best moments can come at 4 am while winding a ball of yarn. LOL.
This is very clever! Thanks for sharing your technique :)
I am definitely going to try this on the next skein I start. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks! I hope it helps you like it does me.
Thanks! Very clever, no tools needed, and the egg/jellybean shape is too adorable! ツ
Thank you for sharing this technique. I was on youtube watching reviews of ball winders that you buy and use a crank, but I think before I spend money on them, I'm going to try making some jelly beans!! Thanks again!!
Great video! Excellent way to handle stupid yarn skeins that birdnest all the time! Thank you!!!!
Love this! oh, and you're a genius!!!
Thanks!

Just finished winding a skein into a ball and lost the ball a few times rolling across the floor and it took forever (like we use to do it years ago) but the next time I will try your method. CUL
Love it! Thank you so much! I was contemplating buying an umbrella swift and and ball winder, but this is much better and saves me money that I can use to buy yarn with instead. 😀
Awesome! That's the money saving techniques that I love to hear. Buy more yarn! LOL
You don’t need a swift of you but these proud skeins. You only need a swift if you buy hanks
Wow ty so much for sharing! I just tried it out on my thread yarn an it works perfectly!! This is def going to be my new method
Yay! I'm so glad to hear that it works for you. Hopefully, it will be of help.
That is so cool and a lot easier, I always do mine in a ball and when it gets bigger I keep knocking it out of my hand. Thank u so much
Thank you!
So neat! And not to mention...adorable!!!
Thank you so much! I hope you find it helpful
That was great, thank you for sharing your technique!!
I'm going through the "bird's nest" right now. I decided to start winding my yarn into balls mostly to save space, but unfortunately the current skein I'm working on gave me the surprise of having a huge tangled up mess right at the center.
thank you so much! this is really helpful.
Nice video! Nice, clear explanation! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing this technique! I have already tried it, mine didn’t turn out “egg” shape, more like “square” shape, but I think it will work.
That works, too. lol
So smart and video instructions were easy to follow, TY! XO❤XO💘XO❤
I must try this! Thankyou❣
Great idea!
Thank you!
I like your technique!
Thank you these look so beautiful. I've got some yarn to wind.
Yay!
Great tutorial, thanks for posting
Enjoy! I hope it helps make things easier.
This is awesome lol mine did not turn out as pretty... but i have lots more yarn to practice with 😉
That's great! LOL. It gets better with practice. :^)
Very helpful -- thank you! I'll certainly try this ;) !
Great! Thanks for sharing your comment.
Great video. Thanks.
Neat! Orderly! Thank you!
This is awesome! Thank you for posting. I'm off to organize my stash of yarns into to "jellybeans"!
Awesome! Sounds great
I wind most if my yarns into balls also...and for the very same reason.. I don't like having yo deal with tangles and/or knots when I am in the middle if a project..
So clever, thank you.
Thank you! :^)
That is really neat
Thanks for showing this to us
My pleasure. I'm so glad you like it. Hopefully, it will be of help to you.
awesome idea! if I had only had this sooner!
Thanks! Better late than never. :^D
great video, thanks for sharing
I'm glad you enjoyed it. :^)
Thank you good job.
I love it such a good idea
Thank you so much for your kind remarks.
Thank you!!
Does it get all tangled as it deflates like with the cakes you get from a ball winder?
Mine don't, however, it probably won't work as well if you pull it out
real fast or if the yarn is textured. Textured yarns tend to grab other
yarn, so I doubt it will pull out as well for those.
I have trouble doing this on my fingers, But I probably could use something else to wind it on right?
A rolling pin?
I do something similar with an 18" piece of 1/2" pvc pipe
I wish i knew this method fifty years ago!
Me, too! :D
Fantastic idea! I hate when my balls roll away!!
Me, too! I have enough problems dealing with the marbles rolling around in my head. :^D
LOL!
Brilliant Thank You
I like it. I feel like a yarn cocoon.... I wonder if someone's been body snatched? :D
Excellent!!! Thanks you, Regards
You're welcome. :}
Awesome!! 😀
+Melody Gonez Thank you!
So cool
roxanne deleon Thank you! I'm glad it's working for you. :D
How can i use this skien to use with a yarn ball winder?
This is for you to do if you don't have or don't want to use a yarn ball winder. :^)
would it become a mess if i started to pull from both ends at the same time?
I've never done that, but I don't think that it would work with any
center-pull ball of yarn. When pulled, the outside thread would go
around the ball, therefore wrapping itself around the inside thread and
tangling.
This looks like what I need but my only question is is there a faster way to do this because it looks a bit time consuming LOL and with all the kids I have sometimes time is not on my side
I'm sorry, but I have no idea how to wind a ball of yarn faster. LOL. Unfortunately, it's the same boring process. I usually do it while sitting and watching TV. That way it's not so torturous.
This would drive me bunkers just do it with a drill 3 minutes.
I personally don't like the outcome with the drill as much as I do this way. Thus, I shared my way, in case there were others who agreed. One way of doing anything has never pleased everyone. That's why we have variations. :^)
Genius
Wow. Thanks! (blushing)

I for the life of me can NOT get mine to be "egg" shaped, which seems extremely convenient to set on a table or whatever. Watched video 10+ times but still no egg shape. Any idea what I may be doing wrong.???? I'm st 8 failed attempts. It's just rolls around making it not so helpful.
Hi I am New Here Thanks Dear...Aleta Sneed Springfield,Mo.USA
My pleasure and "Welcome!". I hope this helps you. Have a nice day!
It's called a yarn barf!
Naw. That's what it's called after it rolls across the floor.
I tried to do this method, and not only was the bottom not flat, I couldn't really turn the yarn after it was on my thumb, and lost circulation in my thumb. What am I doing wrong? I didn't even have a circle at the bottom :(
Aww. I'm sorry for your struggles. Ok. First, it sounds like your
tension was too tight. Your thumb shouldn't lose circulation, LOL, and
it should be able to move within the circle of yarn. Second, if you use
your pointer finger (of the hand that the yarn is being wound on) to
guide the yarn as it's being wound along the top part (that is actually
the bottom side of the jellybean, but you're holding it upside down in
your hand as you wind it. If you guide the yarn as you wind it, then it
will create a flat bottom. I hope this helps you. It actually works
really nice. I use it all the time. Good luck!
Okay, I unwound everything up to where the hole disappeared, and followed along step by step, starting over from the beginning of the skein. I THOUGHT I had done everything right, since I was pausing the video to do exactly what you had done...now I'm working on getting out the tangle that appeared when I pulled on the center pull, which also caused the jellybean to collapse. What did I do wrong? I did everything you did exactly
that's a yarn cake
Actually, a yarn cake is a little different. Sorry, but jelly bean came out before the yarn cake. :^)
