Those who knit, know the ball, like a mischievous kitten, constantly tries to “jump” to Copen or pop out of a box or package while working and rolled somewhere under the furniture. It is also difficult to use wound in a similar way with twine, cord, rope. To “tame” them will help any funnel of appropriate size, better plastic. Enough to nail her to the stand or the wall, to put it in a ball, and the end of the winding to pass through the nose cone.
