It's kind of hard to show what is going on here, but I found a way to use to strands of yarn without going through the trouble of winding two balls from one or buying double amounts.
I decided to try to use the end you are supposed to that comes out of the middle and the one that hangs out on the outside. I was able to have two strands and make the hat extra squishy and not have to start by winding balls. I hate winding balls of yarn, first! (I stupidly just wait until they are a problem and all in knots...)
This worked really well and didn't get all tangled up like I expected it to. A couple of times I had to untwist the yarn as I went, but it mostly just worked out perfectly.
I will definitely be trying this with other projects and types of yarn!

| Sorry about the blinding color! It really is a vibrant yarn and my camera really picked up on that! Ouch! |
A couple of disclaimers:
I didn't use the entire skein on this project, so I don't know what would happen once the yarn got really loose.
So far, I've only tried this with Red Heart worsted weight acrylic yarn.
(Let me know if you have luck or trouble with this tip! I'd love to have more input!)
