I bought a skein of yarn yesterday to make a simple scarf for my nephew. Someone showed me a pattern using both ends of the yarn as two strands of yarn on very large needles, so I will try that. But, I cannot find the center strand!!! I've dug, looked, felt, pulled, all to no avail, and I'm afraid I've made a mess of the yarn in the middle. Hubby offered to help but he couldn't find it either. I finally tucked it all back in (what I managed to pull out and make a mess of).

So, what's the secret??? Do I need to re-wrap this yarn? And why in the world is that necessary anyway, even when one is not trying to find the center strand? Why not just unwind from the outside???

Thanks,

Jen
