This is GENIUS! I have a very nice swift/ball winder set up and still wind balls by hand fairly often. I can see that the twist you do of the very beginning would eliminate the "yarn jungle" I occasionally have when starting to knit from a hand wound center pull ball. THANK YOU!!!
My grandmother taught me to knit and had skills like this, but I don't remember them because I was too young. Thanks I feel more connected to that sweet lady.
Ah, clever! I have an actual nosterpinne but haven’t used it yet. I tend to use the empty toilet roll cardboard tube when hand winding whole skeins but this is brilliant for wee skeins
That's just how I do it. I didn't think anyone else did this.
