But this afternoon I got the chance to try out my new yarn swift and ball winder that I bought from KnitPicks and wind some of the wool I've dyed.
It's so easy and fast and I loved watching the hank transform into that cute little center pull ball.
The hanks I dyed are all 100 gm. Since the yarns I wound today will be used for socks, I needed to wind them into 2 balls each.
Well, since this is my first time :), I had no idea when to stop winding and start the second ball. The first set is no where near even...one is much bigger than the other.
Then on to the second hank, I just love this yarn!
Better, but still didn't get two balls the same size
The last set was the closet in size..actually they are almost even!
Not too bad, only took me 3 tries to get it!
I wonder if I'll remember the next time I need to wind?? Probably not!
That's why I ordered a scale from knit picks...so I can wind them Into equal sized balls. Someone told me you could use a kitchen scale too but Adam took mine when he left home.
ReplyDeleteThey're gorgeous.....such wonderful colors. :) I ordered one of those scales because I've been bitten by that sock-knitting bug. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colours but I especially like the primary colours yarn.
