    It was awful @minismallholding. My husband surprised me and purchased this beautiful hank of lace yarn. It was my first ever as I always buy yarn already rolled into a skein or ball at the local store. I had no idea there was a special way to unravel it. I watched a video on how to find the ends but not on the rest of the process, I sure wish I did before it got in this mess. It started out smoothly but as I was going I started to realize I was getting it tangled. 🥺

    I was on this knitting high (learning how to knit) and had plans on this being my first knitting project...a lace scarf.

    I have lost patience along the way and almost tossed it and said I’ll just buy another one. Thank goodness I know now to have them wind it into a ball for me when I purchase it. I had no idea that was an option until @muacara told me.

    Thanks so much for the curating ~

      Oh no! I remember in handwork lessons at school we used to have to wind hanks into balls. It was a two person job. One would hold the hank around their hands and the other would wind. I never thought about the implications of trying to do it alone before.

      Always a pleasure to curate. One of my favourite things.😁
