Personally, I like to leave it in the skein it came in until it falls apart with the yarn barf. Once it does that, I’ll spin the remains into a cake :>

I leave it as a skein until the skein unravels or falls apart from use, then wind it into a cake. Or, if I want to use my yarn holders instead of my yarn bowl, then I’ll change it into a cake. Sometimes, it justdepends on my mood.

Cake all Day. I love the versatility of it. I can pull from the middle or the outside and it wont get crazy tangled. Perfect when I am doubling yarn.

I usually just leave mine as a skein, since I don’t have a yarn winder.

If it’s a large project or a small project with multiple parts of the same color I leave it in a skein. If it’s a small amount of yarn or if it’s a color I got for mostly accents and details I cake it. At the moment due to limited space most of it gets caked but I have a few large skeins sitting out like white because it’s used often.

I leave it as it is in the skein and then, when it starts to lose its integrity as I use it, I just hand wind it into a ball.

Love the skeins, though like many when it turns to a jumbled mess I use my yarn winder and cake it

If I buy yarn as a skein, I’ll go ahead and use it that way. When I’m about 2/3 finished with it, I’ll wind it into a cake. I dont like it when my yarn gets too floppy!

I usually leave my yarn in skeins, because I’m too lazy to wind it up into cakes :sweat_smile:

I have a cake winder that I usually use for my larger skeins. I don’t usually bother with smaller ones. However it all depends on the yarn barf trying to get a center pull. Please put a tab on the center pull string no matter what style you choose to make the yarn in. I know some like outside starts, put a lot of us like center pulls. I absolutely hate trying to find the center pull and having 1/4-1/2 of the skein come out. Then you have to ball it.
