How to... hand wind a center-pull ball of yarn

Quick useful tip for today:

Do you want to turn this mess...

Into this cuties?

Just follow scoochmaroo's instructions over at Instructables!

The instructions are easy to follow and you end up with a center-pull ball of yarn without having to use any special equipment, just your hands =)

The only thing I added was that I substituted my thumb in the midle of the ball for a lip balm case.

When I started to wrap the yarn over the thumb it would start to get numb, and this way was also easier to untangle the yarn if it was needed.

Warning: this is quite addictive, you'll be going over your stash to see if you can find just one more yarn to wrap! =D
