So my yarn is really knotted, so I’m going to unknot it (thay get knotted together)
but how can I prevent this from happening again in the future?

You can use a yarn winder or your hand to wind the yarn into a ball! It helps so much <3

I like using a pitcher or oatmeal container to hold the balls when using them later. Just a tip. Because.

I like to use hair clips to clip the end so it doesn’t tangle when I’m not using the yarn. I think it works pretty well - it works even better when you wind them first tho

Winding them up helps a lot BUT you have to untangle while winding!

Yeah I use the figure 8 technique to hand wind a center and outer pull on my yarn, cause I always get center pull yarn vomit unless I have wound it myself, I’m getting a winder when I can afford it cause I always have to redo my skeins

Some find old wipe containers work well too

Plastic coffee cans, with a hole punched into the lid.

I do have a winder sitting next to me … Best investment next to yarn. But still, balls work.

I started crochet with skeins; went without a winder for like 15 years so I don’t bother winding the skeins as I am so used to the yank and pull while crocheting!

Yeah I can’t bring myself to risk it, but that’s cause I’m accident prone
