Yarn people - what am I missing here?

5. That's why

I generally try to avoid buying yarn in hanks rather than wound skeins.

Although sometimes even the skeins are a pain when the end that unwinds from the inside isn't pulled to the outside enough to see it and you have to use the outside piece and it goes well for a while but then turns into a big old tangle.

I really don't have the patience for winding into a ball, and hate that they roll around. Although I did read someplace that it's possible to wind yarn into a ball that can be used from the inside out, like a skein. I've never tried it, though. Like I said...no patience for winding.

Are you making something specific, or adding to your stash?
