If the yarn is transported in a bag or whatever that would squish the yarn around, the twining in the centre of the cake might get tangled up resulting in the ball 'puking' when you next pull the yarn from the centre.<BR/><BR/>I have no remedy for this apart from just playing kitty for a while. Other than that, I try to transport the cake that has been used up quite a bit carefully.Elemmacilturhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06001661654657307595noreply@blogger.com
