STRAIGHTENING KINKY YARN
I have unravelled a sweater and the yarn in kinked. How can I straighten it?
Take a wire coat hanger and form it into a square. Wind your yarn onto the coat hanger,
spreading it out as much as possible. Hang it in a shower stall and run hot water to fill
the stall with steam. The idea is to steam the yarn, not to wash it!
You can see the crinkles dropping out of it. When it looks straight
remove from the shower and rewind it. Do not leave it on the hanger, incase the hanger goes rusty.
