How to Deal with Yarn Barf | BEGINNER | The Crochet Crowd

For those who do centre pull yarn skeins, it depends on the type of machine the wound the ball if the tail is already hanging out. For example, the machines that wind the Caron One Pound and Caron Simply Soft are designed where the tails fall out of the centre.

In other balls, like the Bernat Maker Home Dec or Bernat Blanket, it's a different machine where the tails aren't out. It's a technology design of a machine. I know what you are thinking, change or modify the machines but that costs money and dealing with yarn barf aka a chunk of yarn coming from the middle is not a big deal in most cases.

I find as a crocheter, I can crochet the yarn barf pretty quickly, so it's inconvenient but give me about 10 - 20 minutes into the project, it can be used up and the ball is pulling the yarn from the center like normal.

Steps:

1 - Reach In and Use your Fingers to Expand the interior.
2 - Remove the ball band and gently squash the ball inward. This willopen the centre of the ball more.
3 - Reach in with two fingers and pinch together and feel for 1 strand and gently pull out.
4 - You may actually have the end of the yarn but just keep pulling until their only 1 strand coming from the ball.
5 - Find the end of the yarn and then wind back pull back the yarn so there are no tangles. This is demoed in the video.
6 - Once done, put the yarn barf on the floor beside your armchair and crochet as normal. Eventually, it will use it up and you can continue as normal. #crochet #learntocrochet #crochettutorial .
