What do you call a string that comes from a skein or ball of yarn?

Posted on February 12th, 2010 by admin

I know that the definition of yarn technically is "thread made of natural or synthetic fibers and used for knitting and weaving," so what do you call the yarn string to clarify it from the ball or skein of yarn? Thanks.

It’s yarn whether it comes from a ball or skein.

    Whether it is a ball or skien it is yarn and normally you would describe it as strands of yarn.
