Lion Brand yarn...no center pull?

[Phoebe]

Much to my dismay it seems that lion brand yarns don't have a center pull. Is this correct or am I just getting skeins that don't have one that I can see?

Well, I can't find it either. So that makes two of us.

I haven't been able to find it either.. I had a few older skeins that did, but these new ones I bought didn't seem to have it.

I think it does have a center pull.

[Phoebe]

I'd sure love to find it. I hate not having one.

I just bought some Lion Brand Homespun this week and it's got a center pull. In the past, sometimes I've had to pull out a glob of yarn from the center to find it.

It SHOULD have a center pull...I just can't ever find it. Maybe I need to do the glob thing so I can find it once.

reach into the skein from teh side (where the yarn all kind of twirls together) WAY inside, and pull on a thread, you'll usually pull out a big ball, soemwhere in it is the end

why is center pull preferred?

[jmofarrill]

I can't speak for everyone, but the reason I prefer center pull is because I do not have to constantly free up yarn from around the skein. After several stitches, I have to unwind yarn from around the skein. I don't have to do this w/ center pull.

oooh ok
thanks

absolutely.

I had a skein of Fisherman's yarn, so I tried this a few minutes ago. MUCH better! LOL I had it wound up into two center-pull balls in a matter of moments rather than the 30 min it took when I did *not* find the end of the yarn in the middle.
