The largest ball of yarn is located in Cawker City, Kansas, USA. It weighs over 20,000 pounds and continues to grow as people contribute yarn to it. The ball is a popular roadside attraction for visitors.
There are stores that carry yarn ball winders. One such store is Joann, a fabric and yarn store, and the yarn ball binder there is $40. Another store is Knit Picks. The yarn ball winder there is only $20.
To properly wind yarn into a ball, start by creating a center pull ball by wrapping the yarn around your fingers or a tool. Then, wind the yarn around the center in a consistent manner until you have a neat and tight ball of yarn.
The predicate is, "likes the ball of yarn."
Yarn comes in different "gatherings"--ways that it can be sold. Your question mentioned 2 out of the three: ball of yarn and skein of yarn. The third would be a Hank of yarn. A hank is a skein of yarn (which is yarn in a large oblong shape, and tied in a few places around the skein to maintain a bit of control over the yarn staying in that loose shape), which has been twisted around itself to make for a smaller and more controllable yarn, which is easier to pack, and store. A hank also is a bit more manageable than a skein of yarn. A ball of yarn would be wound from a skein or a hank.
To wind yarn without a winder, you can use a chair or your hands to create a makeshift yarn swift and ball winder. Secure the yarn on the chair and wind it around to create a ball. Alternatively, you can wind the yarn around your hand to form a ball.
To roll yarn into a ball from a skein, you can start by finding the end of the yarn and holding it between your fingers. Then, begin winding the yarn around your fingers or a yarn winder in a circular motion until it forms a ball. Make sure to wind the yarn evenly and tightly to prevent tangles.
