For those who handspin yarn, how do you store the yarn after you're done? I mean do you roll it in a ball or wrap it around some type of spool or something? I've been cutting shopping bags into long strips and spinning them into yarn and now I don't know what to do with it. it's stiffer than regular yarn so if I try to roll it up, it just unrolls again. and I can't seem to find anything to wind it around. Right now I'm just using a block of wood lol. Any suggestions?
Try a knitty knotty. Here is a link on how to use one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWroE5SX1Zs Also, if you need one I have an extra, if you want to barter for it. Then when they are wound they are MUCH eaiser to store.
That looks perfect. I just moved and got rid of a lot of stuff so I don't really have anything good to barter but thank you. I'll just have to buy one when I get around to it.
