You’re winding me up ....

One of the ladies from my knitting group very kindly gave me a skein of hand dyed yarn.
I’ve never had a skein before but I’m sure you don’t knit from it as it is, so I spent time very carefully winding it into this ball.
Many years ago I remember an auntie who knitted a lot and always had someone hold the skein while she wound it. In the absence of a pair of willing hands I used the backs of two chairs which did perfectly well.
It was quite satisfying to do.
