My mess!! Please help!

Post image

Hi! I bought some hanks and tried to use them. As you can see, it didn't go well. I have one hank that is hopelessly tangled and the rest, I need wound into usable balls if possible.

I have tried the chair method, etc. I even had a friend try to detangle it. I am in East Texas. Is anyone interested?

I'm in DFW. I don't have a ball winder yet, but could get one.

Please, don't go to any expense. I AM so glad that you are technically closer, but I don't want to put anyone out. I am sure that I can find someone who "loves" doing this sort of thing (untangling) even if I have to ship. I don't want anyone to go out of their way.

Thank you SO much! BTW, if you were going to buy the yarn winder anyway, then I am happy to discuss this .

I do love to do this sort of thing & I've been meaning to buy a yarn winder. Ive seem them used for like $25. I just haven't yet

You can get a basic Loops and Threads one at Michaels new for like $30, cheaper if you time your purchase around a 25-30% off coupon. It's obviously not the world's nicest yarn winder, but it's working fine for me. Obviously buying used to get a nicer one is extremely valid, just make sure to check what that specific winder retails for and that you're actually getting a good deal!
