Making a spool:
  +
1: get the materials
  +
2: set the sewing spool so the flat part is on the bottom
  +
3: tape the nails (tops up) to the side of the spool.
  +
  +
Corking:
  +
1: drop a bit of yarn through the hole in the spool so you can see the tip.
  +
2: wrap the yarn around the pegs in a loop.
  +
3: take a string, put it above a loop and put the loop over the string.
  +
4: repeat until you are finished or want to change colors
  +
  +
Changing Colors:
  +
1: cut the yarn away from the ball, leaving 3 inches left.
  +
2: tie on another color to the 3 inches.
  +
3: keep corking.
  +
  +
Tying off:
  +
1: cut off the ball of yarn and leave about 1 inch left of the yarn.
  +
2: take the string off one peg and put it on the one beside it
  +
3: put the one below over that string.
  +
4: do the same to the next one and the next one (it depends how many pegs your spool has)
  +
5: take the leftover loop and take it off the spool.
  +
6: put the leftover string through the loop
  +
7: pull
