    I open the hank, wrap it around a chair, my feet, or DH's arms and begin rolling it. For me, keeping the ball as tight as possible works best. The process does not take me too long, but I have been doing this for a long time.

    This makes DH the swift and you the ball winder. My hubby used to do the same thing for me but some days he was swifter than others.

    You can also use a nostepinde for ball winding though you still need a swift, a DH or chair back to hold the hank. I've even used my feet. I ahve a nostepinde when I want to wind balls of yarn in the car, infortunately I've never mastered the technique. I need remedial lessons because everybody says it sooooo easy.

    It takes me such a wee bit of time. DH is even faster. He will open the hank, put it around his knees and it is done in no time.

    I have seen so gorgeous nostpinde.
