I again anchored one end of the skein to the ironing board stand but this time I anchored the other end 
to Guido!
After some fiddling around, I set up the ballwinder on the coffee table and started winding.
Susan came by about half way through and got some really good pictures of us in action (see Guido way back there?).
Eventually, the ball got really big!
So big that I had to take it off the ballwinder and start another.
Finally, it was wound up. Look, it blocks out the sun!
Later this afternoon, I got it wound into regular sock skeins.
Looks so mild mannered like that, doesn't it?
Sock Club people-Your yarn is all ready to pick up! Enjoy!

That's a really big ball o sock yarn. And it's stunning in the sock skeins. I can't wait!
I can't wait to start knitting!
I am so impressed with the huge ball o sock yarn, those yarn winders are real powerhouses, was wondering how many yards fit onto a winder??
Beautiful colors, wish I knit socks.
