## ROLLING YARN INTO A BALL THAT PULLS FROM CENTER 

Some yarns come in hanks, some are pre-wound and pull from the center. Rolling a ball that pulls from the center is a good skill to have. 

## SUPPLIES NEEDED: 

Hank of yarn or loose yarn 

## INSTRUCTIONS 

## Step #1: 

If you are rolling a ball from a hank of yarn, carefully untie the hank, keeping it in the large loop. Have someone hold it for you, or drape the loop over the back of a chair or over your knees. 

## Step #2: 

Holding the loose end of yarn firm with your thumb, roll the yarn around three fingers very loosely 10-12 times. 

## Step #3: 

Slip the yarn off your fingers and hold it firmly in the center with the free end of the yarn hanging loose. 

## Step #4: 

Now very loosely wrap the yarn around the part you rolled on your fingers about 10-12 times. If you pull the yarn too tightly, it will not pull free from the center of the ball when you are ready to knit or crochet, and it may also take some of the stretch out of the yarn. Be sure not to catch the free end while wrapping the yarn.
