Locate the free end of the yarn. If the yarn is tangled, carefully untangle it. Load the free end into the notch on your ball winder, and carefully start winding the yarn (or, if you don’t have a ball winder, wrap the end around your fingers). You may need to untangle as you go. Make a note to self to wind first next time.
Make yourself a center pull ball. Put the hank over a large cooking pot or big bowl that you’ve turned upside down to keep it from collapsing and tangling on you, if it hasn’t already. If it has collapsed and tangled, try carefully to open it up again as much as possible. Tangled hanks take a lot of patience. Take the working yarn about a yard from the knitted portion and begin winding it around your thumb and first two fingers. Keeping your thumb on the yarn coming from the work, turn the beginning ball and continue to wind. You want to maintain that opening in the middle for the yarn to feed from when you work. With laceweight yarn, this may take a while, btw. When done, put the ball in a small zip top baggie to keep it clean and control it. When you have a skein or hank of any yarn it’s always best to wind first knit later.
