The best time to make the change to a new skein is at the end of a row, but it can be done at any time.

In crochet, if you are using the same color and just starting a new skein, work your last stitch to the second to last step. With the new yarn, finish your stitch. Leaving a long tail, cut the old yarn and continue working with the new yarn. You can weave the tails in as you go, or when you've finished the work. Some folks like to tie the two ends together. Some folks never tie.

If you are finished with that color and adding a new color at the same position, work as above. If you need to start your new color at a different place, finish off the old color by completing your last stitch and drawing the yarn through. Leave a long tail (about 6") and cut the old yarn. To attach the new color, make a slip knot on your hook (again leaving a long tail), insert hook at the proper position, yarn over, and draw through both the stitch and the loop on the hook (as in making a slip stitch). Then follow instructions in your pattern as to what stitch you need to make to begin.

How do change balls of wool when knitting a scarf?

When the first ball of wool is close to the end, change it. Just finish the row you are on, then instead of using the first ball of wool, start knitting the next row with the second one. Leave a little bit of wool from each skein hanging off of the end of the row, and after knitting a few stitches, you can tie the two pieces of wool together. When you are done making the scarf, you can cut off the loose pieces that are left over from making the knot.
