How to prepare your yarn for knitting

Turtlepurl Yarns come to you in skeins.  These skeins will need to be ball wound or caked before knitting.

Here are some helpful tips!

  • Gently untwist your skein. Your skein will be tied in 2 places.
  • Lay your skein on a flat surface forming a circle.
  • Place your yarn on a swift or some helpful hands. Please do not attempt to knit from the skein, you must ball wind or cake your yarn first. 
  • Please do not cut! Simply untuck the tie and gently pull the yarn end of the slip knot to unravel the figure 8 tie. Repeat for the 2nd tie.
  • For self-striping yarn there will be 2 matching skeins in your skein set. Please start ball winding or cake from the same colour on each skein to achieve matching socks.
  • Choose one end to start with.  Gently pull a few times to be sure it will unwind smoothly. You may need to flip or adjust your skein slightly. You do not need to remove it from the swift.
  • Ball wind or cake and you're all set to start knitting!
