My irregular series on fiber crafting on a tight space/money budget, aka repurposing household objects.
What to do when you have no umbrella winder to hold a skein? If you can't commandeer a nearby sibling, roommate or lover to hold it, try putting the yarn over the back of two chairs.
Pros: no additonal equipment to buy; easily adjust for skein size by shifting chair positions; minimal snarky comments from voluntold assistants.
Cons: the chairs do not rotate, so you have to walk around them; does not provide fun commentary.
