Lion Brand Pound of Love yarn - Where is the starting end?
I bought four skeins of the Lion Brand Pound of Love yarn and out of the four, three of them don't seem to have a starting end where you can just pull the yarn out of the middle! I have had to unravel and unknot for hours! Anyone have the secret?
uggg. I hate this yarn for that exact reason. I'm using it right now to make a blanket for my soon-to-arrive grandson. I ended up pulling half the darn skein out of the middle! As the previous poster suggested, you just have to fish around in the middle and try to pull a small clump out and hope to find it from there...
Maybe if we all call or email them they will remedy the problem!

EDIT: I emailed Lion and this is what they had to say....
"We're very sorry you had difficulty starting these skeins. Here is some information as to how to start the balls or skeins, depending on how they are wound. Some skeins are designed as "pull skeins". An end will be sticking out of the center of the skein and you pull on this to begin working. On occassion, that end will be missing. All skeins have an outside end that allows you to begin work by unrolling the yarn from the outside. You can begin knitting or crocheting from the outside, wind it into a ball by hand, or use a wool winder to make a pull skein. If you don't want to work from the outside and there is no visible end coming from the center, you can find an end as follows: Insert the thumb and index finger of each hand into either side of the skein, moving your fingers until they meet. Feel for the very center. Pull this out and the end should be with it. Extra yarn will usually come out with it but is quickly used up.
We hope that this information helps you.
With Warm Regards,
