Winding a ball of yarn from a hank or reeled skein

Some yarn — cones, tubes, and skeins — comes ready to use in its packaging, but if you buy a hank or reeled skein, you'll need to roll it into a ball so it doesn't turn into a tangled mess. In this video, Melissa shows you how to use an umbrella swift to roll a ball of yarn.

When you order hanks or reeled skeins from The Yarn Barn of Kansas, we are happy to roll your yarn for you. (In fact, watch us on social media and you can see how many miles we've wound this year!) But if you don't have one of our staff members handy, here's how you can prep your yarn for a stress-free experience.

The Yarn Barn of Kansas is a Lawrence-based store designed for hobby weavers, knitters, spinners and crocheters. We offer a full line of yarns, fibers, looms, spinning wheels, as well as numerous tools, accessories, books, and more. We ship daily to national and international customers. We're also conveniently located in the middle of downtown Lawrence, one mile from I-70 and 14 blocks from K-10 Highway. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1-4 p.m. Sunday.
