What in the %$#&*%$*!#$% is the deal with skeins or hanks of yarn?? How is it that 'yarn' has been in existence this long and STILL no one has come up with a decent way for it to be wound and then used?!?
I found this beautiful wool blend yarn from Araucania. It's a machine washable yarn which is wonderful and it's a beautiful blue colorway. It's wound in a "hank" when purchased and you then have to roll it in a ball for ease of use. Any of you who crochet even a little bit, know it's a big circle when you 'unroll' the hank. I searched for the first end I could find and began to roll it up. It didn't take long before it started to bunch up and get itself tangled into a huge ball of mess. I spent more than 2 hours trying to 'un-knot' the hank and I only have a tennis ball size of yarn rolled and the rest is a nest of confusion!
Maybe that should be my next project. Figure out a way to wind yarn up for retail AND for use! :-)
