Once you have the rhythm down of how to wind the ball onto the yarn swift, it should get a lot faster and easier. Just keep going until the yarn ball runs out.

As before, you'll want to tie the hank of yarn together with a few pieces of yarn (I typically use four, but you can use as many as you like) to help hold it together. Remember to tie the yarn together before you attempt to take the hank off the swift.
