yarn ball
Wound fiber globe
A yarn ball is a rounded bundle of yarn wound for storage or use in knitting, crocheting, or other fiber crafts.
The term distinguishes this form from a skein, which is loosely coiled, or a hank, which is twisted.
Yarn balls may be wound by hand or machine: She pulled yarn from the ball as she knitted.
Cats famously play with yarn balls.
