The first thing you’ll need to do when you start crocheting with your Homelea Lass crochet kit is turn your skein of soft merino wool yarn into a ball.
Watch the video below to learn how to do this:
Step by step instructions:
- open the skein
- lie the skein flat and in a circle in front of you
- untie or cut the loops that are holding the yarn together
- find the end
- carefully unwind some of the yarn
- wrap the end around your fingers a couple of times
- slip the yarn off your fingers, fold it in two and then wind the yarn around this to start creating a ball
- keep carefully unwinding the skein and wrapping it around the ball until you’re finished.
