is usually tied off in a couple of places. find the knot and unknot it. you will find your ends there. as sheila stated, it's much easier to then put the loop on the swift, hook it to the winder, and make a "cake" of yarn. some yarn shops will wind your yarn for you when you buy it from them.

in the old days, one would just put the loop around the back of a chair (or someone's knees!) and make a ball from that.

barring the info we've provided for you, you can probably find a video on youtube of this process....good luck!

(btw, is that peace fleece yarn? looks like it.)
