Back when I was working with the Portland fiber, I plied the skein of worsted 2 ply and had some of the very thin single left over. I took it off the bobbin wrapping it around my three fingers. I laughed at the size of this tiny skein and decided to keep it. I tied it and slipped it off my fingers, and it proceeded to crinkle up like a scrunchy. So I just held it under warm water until it was saturated, squeezed it out and looked around for someplace to put it to dry. Obviously I could have just laid it on a towel, but decided on this instead:
Really the best part of sliding it on a vitamin bottle cap was it was a perfect fit and effectively worked to block the skein. Now my tiniest skein looks like this:
Just for comparison here's the whole Portland photo again
The large skein upper left is the 2 ply that my tiny skein didn't get in.
