This one's for Catherine! Here we have a two-part video on how I wind yarn into skeins after dyeing them. When I get undyed yarn sent to me, it generally comes in a 60" skein. But sometimes, in order to get the repeat I want, I rewind it into 72" skeins (such as Seaworthy, in this video example). But then I want to rewind it back into a smaller skein for a variety of reasons (seeing how the colors interplay, making everything a uniform size for displays, and so on).
