Okay! I think I'm going to try this ... I'm thinking, for me, maybe a straw
instead of a toilet roll. Just a little too cumbersome for my hands. Murielle "Aaron Lewis" wrote in message et... see http://www.tradewindknits.com/tbctrbal.html Aaron |

I got some from a thrift store and it was wound really tight. When I rewound them, the balls were about 1½ times the original size. sue |

Last year I managed to get 4 x 400 gram cones of 4 ply (fingering weight) at 50 pence (about $1) each. There were 2 white, 1 pale blue and 1 navy blue - all brand new - so they've gone into my stash. It seems that when people are moving house they clear out cupboards and send all the stuff (new and used) off to the local charity shop. I wish they'd move more often ;-) Bernadette |

It wasn't new, though it was ununsed. Do you mean it was still factory wound? Mary sue |
