ROLLING YARN INTO A BALL THAT  PULLS FROM CENTER SUPPLIES NEEDED: INSTRUCTIONS 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. Hank of yarn or loose yarn 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. Holding the loose end of yarn firm with your  thumb, roll the yarn around three fingers very  loosely 10-12 times. Slip the yarn off your fingers and hold it firmly in  the center with the free end of the yarn hanging  loose. 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. 6 Step #1: Step #2: Step #3: Step #4:
