  1. Spin all of the raw wool you were given into a single ply thread. Spin clockwise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Use the ball winder (stored in one of the black cubbies in Studio A) to wind a center pull ball. The ball winder allows both ends of the ball to be pulled out simultaneously. Alternatively, you can wind two spools of singles by hand around two cardboard spools (just narrow rectangles of cardboard), eyeing the size of each, so that more or less equal amount of thread is on each spool. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. To ply the two singles, spin counterclockwise. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Use niddy noddy to make a hank\/skein of yarn. Add 3-4 ties to the hank\/skein. If you do not have a substantial amount of yarn, us a hardcover book to make a small hank\/skein; add ties. Place the hank\/skein into bowl of water. After 30 mins, remove from water and ring out excess moisture by pressing a clean towel against the hank\/skein. Allow to air dry. Wind into a yarn butterfly or ball. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
