I have been meaning to post this ever since I posted about my hand dyed yarn and haven't gotten to it, but since I posted yesterday about my first ball of handspun yarn, I decided to finally do it!
 |
| gather supplies: laundry basket, sit and spin, chunky book, hank of yarn |
 |
Put laundry basket upside down on sit and spin (I had wrapped it on it in preparation to dye it, also) so that it spins when you pull on it |
 |
| wind yarn around book, leaving the end stickiing out |
 |
| Close up view |
 |
| wrap around core to secure |
 |
| Once you have enough thickness, start "criss cross" wrap around ball |
 |
| All done! I didn't quite get the core covered |
 |
my 2 balls of hand dyed yarn. The one on the left isn't as neat as the one on the right, but it will still work! |
 |
| Let son play with sit and spin when you are finished with it! |

That's so convenient how you used the sit and spin! Those are such fun, but I'm afraid I'm too big now :-/. Your balls of yarn look so absolutely perfect!
Clever! Such cute photos, too!
Wow, that's neat!
