Hello everyone! This is a very simple video. Most may know this but for those who don't, here you go. It's how to ball up left over yarn. I usually wait until the skein is pretty flat before I do this. But after it's balled up it works perfectly in your work bag, when you pull on it, it just rolls out more yarn for you. I hope this was helpful for some.

Would you guys be interested in a crocheted project? Let me know in the comment below.

Thanks for coming back and watching.
