To effectively unwind a hank of yarn, you can start by finding the end of the yarn and carefully untangling any knots or tangles. Then, you can use a swift or have someone hold the hank while you gently pull the yarn from the outside. This will help prevent the yarn from tangling further and make it easier to work with.
What else can I help you with?
Where can I find the tool with which you can unwind from the outside a ball of yarn that has been wound on a ball winder?
You can probably use your fingers to unwind yarn from the outside.
What do you call a 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.
What is a coil of yarn?

What is the hank of yarn?
A hank of yarn is a ring of yarn. This ring is generally then twisted on itself, and one end pulled through the opposite end, to create a shape like a braid. From a hank, you would generally roll a ball of yarn so that it is easier for you to use without the hank getting all tangled and pulled taut or out of shape.
How can I wind a hank of yarn without using a swift?

What do bundles mean?
A skein is the small bundle one would buy at a craft store.A hank is a bundle of skeins. Defined as follows:a traditional measure of length for yarn. The length of yarn in a hank varies with the market and the material; for example, a hank of cotton yarn traditionally included 840 yards (768 meters) of yarn, while a hank of wool yarn was 560 yards (512 meters). For both cotton and wool, these traditional hanks are equal to 7 leas or to 12 cuts. In the U.S., however, a hank of woolen yarn is generally 1600 yards (1463 meters). In retail trade, a hank is often equal to 6 or 7 skeins of varying size.(http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/dictH.html#hank)
How much yarn in a hank?
Unfortunately, there are no standards for amounts of yarn, which can come in various forms: balls; skeins; hanks; cones are terms which come to my mind quickly. I would say that in my mind, a ball would have less yarn than a skein, which would have less yarn than a hank, and what would generally have the most yardage, would be a cone00but those are MY distinctions, based upon absolutely NOTHING, just how I use the words, unless I am referring to a specific form of a particular yarn. So, for you to find out how much yarn is in a hank, you would have to look at the specific brand of yarn, and read (on the "ball band," the paper band which encircles the hank, or the tag attached to the hank of yarn), and read the actual yardage of that particular yarn hank. Also, be aware that just because Company A had 350 yards of yarn for one variation of their yarn, that all hanks would have 350 yards--it not necessarily true. The other variations could have any amount of yarn in a hank. Therefore, you would need to read the ball band, or tag on the hank to get the amount of yarn in that particular hank, or you could go to the manufacturers website and see if they list how many yards are in the hank. By the way, there are brands, and yarns that are sold that only give the amount in that form of yarn in ounces--no yardage given! Now, that can be fun to convert into approximate yardage!
What is another name for skein of yarn?
You could use hank or ball.
How can I reroll yarn effectively?
To reroll yarn effectively, start by winding the yarn around a swift to keep it tangle-free. Then, use a yarn winder or a nostepinne to create a neat and even ball of yarn. Make sure to maintain consistent tension while winding to prevent the yarn from stretching or tangling.
