Description
Have your yarn wound into a cake if you've found you love the yarn sold in hanks but you *don't* love winding them into a ball by yourself. I have all the tools to neatly take that unweildy hank of yarn and wind it into a nice neat center-pull cake.Make sure the number of skeins to be wound is the same as the total yarn you purchased.
Purchasing this listing -
one for each skein that needs to be wound
- allows you to begin working on your project as soon as you receive your yarn; win-win!
If you purchase a fewer number of this service than yarn in your order, write in comments during checkout the colors you want to have wound into a cake. If I must message you for colors you need wound, this will delay shipping your yarn.
**NOTE** Please make sure you love the color before purchasing this service. Winding it into a cake makes it so that the yarn cannot be returned for a refund since it is not resellable.
Here are some questions that might help you decide if you need your yarn rolled into a cake-
What is the difference between a skein and a hank of yarn?
A skein is a compact, cylindrical shape of yarn and is usually sold pre-wound. A hank is a large loop of yarn, much longer than a skein, and is sold in a twisted shape.
What does winding yarn mean?
Winding yarn means taking a hank of yarn and wrapping it into a ball or winding it into a "cake". This process is done using a swift and a ball winder.
What is the benefit of winding a hank of yarn?
Winding a hank of yarn makes it easier to store, transport, and use than in its original shape. It also ensures that the yarn is not tangled or knotted.
What is winding yarn called?
The process of winding yarn is called ball winding, winding into a cake or, more obscurely, skeining. This is often done using a swift or a ball winder but you can do this by hand if you have two people.
