Need help from the experts on Laceweight yarn
I've just bought my first skein (100g/1540 yds) of Skaska Design
silk/angora Laceweight yarn. I plan to try a shawl, but I have no idea what to do with this skein. I'm afraid its going to end up in a big fat knotty mess if I'm not careful. the skein seems to be divided into 3 sections, but they seem to be not separable. Do I clip the 3 dividing sections and carefully roll this into a ball? Help!! Elaine, Gig Harbor WA |

Elaine, Gig Harbor WA Your hank needs to be wound, Elaine, either with a swift and winder, or the good ole fashioned way of holding the hank or putting the hank on a chair-back, and winding it into a ball.

"Wooly" wrote If you don't have a swift dragoon a housemate into holding the hank for you. The other party can help control tangles &c as you wind off. Others have suggested chair backs as alternatives. One person recommended winding the yarn around a cardboard core - an excellent idea. I have neither a swift nor a housemate but I have a lampshade which is a very functional alternative. -- Jan in MN |

I Put a stool upside down on another chair and my hank over the [at least 3 feet of the stool ,,, and than i can wind my threads at ease , mirjam That's a great suggestion Mirjam. I don't have a stool, but can try a chair upside down, leaning on a second chair. That might work. ;) Shelagh |
