If a skein is particularly cranky, I'll hand-wind it from the swift
to a ball. That way, I can thread the ball through the tangles. At
the end, I put the ball into a clean box and wind it to a ball or
bobbin. Annoying, but I can avoid breaking the yarn.

Hi all,
Was grinding my teeth and thought I'd holler here and
ask for help. I have a hank of 120/2 bombyx silk
thread that I'm trying to wind onto a bobbin. I have
it on a small metal swift. The silk will unwind
smoothly for a while and then get lost in a mass of
tangles. I've "rounded" the skein as much as possible,
on and off the swift, but I don't think I'm getting
anywhere. I've been breaking and knotting, but I wish
there was a better way! (Other than throwing it out
and buying it on a cone, that is.)
Any ideas?
TIA,
June
