Abstract
A ball of hand knitting yarn is formed by winding the yarn in an overlapping constantly progressing angular winding to form a partial sphere, thereafter continuing the winding by applying a plurality of turns of said yarn in substantially parallel circumferential turns about substantially a central equator of the ball and subsequently finishing the winding with a plurality of overlapping progressively angled windings so as to hide the circumferential turns.

The method of forming a spherical ball of a predetermined length of knitting yarn comprising the steps of continuously (a) winding the yarn for a predetermined period in an overlapping constantly progressing angular winding to form a partially completed sphere, (b) thereafter winding a plurality of turns of said yarn in substantially parallel circumferential turns about substantially a central equator of the partially completed sphere and (c) subsequently finishing the winding with a plurality of overlapping progressively angled windings so as to hide the circumferential turns and complete the sphere.
A ball of knitted yarn comprising a first portion formed of a plurality of overlapping constant angular progressing windings forming an inner body, a second portion formed of a plurality of substantially parallel turns wound circumferential about said body substantially along an equator thereof and a third portion formed by a plurality of overlapping constant angular progressing windings overlying said first and second portions.
