Buy it With
For yarns that come in hanks, you are unable to knit or crochet directly from them. We are happy to wind your yarn into cakes for you.
The price is per hank. If you require multiple hanks wound please purchase the required number of this service. If you require only certain hanks to be wound please let us know in your order notes which ones are to be wound.
Be aware that once your yarn has been wound it will no longer be refundable. Additionally, please note that yarn winding can add a delay to the shipping process.
Things to Note:
- We are only able to wind hanks that have been purchased at our store.
- We are unable to wind the following yarns as they do not perform well on our winder:
- Life in the Long Grass Moon Sock
Want to wind your own yarn?
You can absolutely wind your beautiful yarn by hand however it can be time consuming and a bit tricky if you're doing this for the first time. To wind your skein without a wool winder or swift follow the steps below:
- First wrap the loop around your bent knees while sitting or over back of two chairs facing away from each other with ample distance but ensuring the tension is not too tight. You can also have a friend hold it between outstretched hands.
- Next carefully cut all ties. Hold one of the ends against your palm with pinky and ring finger throughout winding so you can find it later!
- Then begin winding yarn diagonally, criss-crossing around outstretched index and middle fingers.
- Keep winding diagonally, until a little ball has formed. Now ease fingers out and pop ball onto thumb; rotate ball on thumb as you continue to wind with gentle tension. Use inner tail to begin knitting.
