I have a yarn winder. I can wind a skein into a cake on it, I can do it very slow if needed. But I'm using a lace baby alpaca/silk, and I'm going crazy.
It seems like when I unravel the skein, and get the starting yarn, it's always in between the layers, and just gets massively tangled. (The fuzziness attaches to other strands too).
So how do I start unwinding the skein, so that it's coming smoothly from the outside., and won't get tangled up?
Or how do u do it? I've spent hours and hours on first skein. Need to do one more and running out of time ;(
