How to wind yarn with NO equipment

How to wind yarn into a ball with NO equipment! Hanks (skeins) of yarn have to be wound up before you can knit or crochet with them. Don't worry if you don't have a ball winder and swift to hand - it's easy to wind up yarn using no equipment at all. This video demonstration is a tutorial for my favourite yarn-winding technique. It's so simple that I've actually been using this same technique ever since I was a child!

This video covers:
-Why you have to wind up hanks* of yarn
-How do do this with NO equipment
-How to use furniture around your home as props, for those with physical mobility requirements
-How to set up for breaks
-Troubleshooting: when yarn goes bad...

*note that when a large loop of yarn is sold twisted up, it's called a hank. This term is commonly mistaken the word 'skein'. A skein is yarn that has been wound into an oblong shape, like many commercial sock yarns.
