Yarn ball winder

Step 3Begin winding

Begin winding
Grasp the yarn lightly in one hand, and start the drill SLOWLY with the other. As the needle spins, guide the yarn up and down the needle to form the beginning of your yarn ball. Then go as fast as you are comfortable with.

As it builds, start moving your guide hand back and forth a bit faster so the yarn winds on a diagonal. This is loosely similar to what a commercial winder does, and helps it hold together when it's finished. The diagonal winding will be evident in the next step.
