Have you ever had a skein of yarn that just is in knots. Its pukes out a pile of yarn every time you pull some out. So frustrating and slows down my crocheting. I usually make them into yarn balls, but then the roll all over and its a pain. I searched for a solution, make my own center pull out ball. There are quite a few tutorials out there, which is helpful.
I didn't take pictures of my process, I was too busy winding and winding and winding, it was a lot of yarn.
Here is one I looked at for help: Knits With Balls
All you need is your pile of yarn barf and a paper towel roll. Drop the end of the yarn into the roll, this will be your start. Then you lay the length of yarn about midway down the roll and start wrapping the yarn around to hold the start in place. Don't do it too tight. I covered almost the whole roll twice, moving up and down the roll as I wrapped it. Then I started going diagonally, then following the previous row of yarn. It took a long time, but see how nice and neat it turned out. Its staying together very nicely and pulls out perfectly (so far).
