While most yarns from big craft stores come in skeins—ready to use with a convenient yarn tail—many yarns from local shops are sold in hanks. A hank is a large loop of yarn twisted into itself, and if you try to work directly from it, you'll quickly end up with a tangled mess. That’s why learning to wind your own center-pull ball is a must. Twinkie walks you through the process with and without a yarn swift and ball winder, so you're covered either way.]]> http://www.creativebug.com/classseries/single/invisible-yarn-joins-for-knit-and-crochet Wed, 11 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0700 Twinkie Chan
