In this matter yarn is a bit like ourselves, to relax it just give it a warm bath! ^^
Preparing the Yarn
First we need to prepare the yarn so that it doesn’t get tangled.
1. Get your frogged yarn.
2. Bend your arm at the elbow, grab one end of the yarn and wrap it behind your arm.
3. Continue to wrap the yarn under the arm, through the front and up again on top of the hand.
4. Wrap all your yarn around the arm and hand.
5. Gently take the yarn from your arm and tie it in two points opposite to each other using a yarn of a contrasting colour.
Relaxing the Yarn
Fill a basin or sink with warm water and place the yarn inside completely covered with water. Let it soak for at least 20 minutes.
Take the yarn out and let the water seep above the basin. Using a towel gently squeeze the yarn to take the excess water. Don’t twist or wring the yarn.
Hang the yarn around the neck of a hanger and let it dry in the shade.
After it is thoroughly dried, the yarn is ready for your next project! =D
I loved this idea and the tutorial was super easy to follow. It’s great for relaxing balled yarn that I have had in storage. I hope you won’t mind that linked your post to an article on my blog about yarn winding and storage. If you want to check it out you can at craftingisatalent.com
