Step 1
Reverse the way you started. If you wind off counterclockwise, wind in your kite in clockwise motion.
-
Step 2
Don't wind the kite string while it's still in the air -- you'll be working against the wind. It's easier to set the kite on the ground by walking toward the kite and allowing it to lower.
-
Step 3
Note that all kite winders are not the same. A flat kite winder with notches on the ends may be easier to work with than a spool-type kite winder. Another kind available is a circular or halo winder.
-
Step 1
Place a colored mark on each line of a multi-line kite. This will make identifying the kite lines easier when winding and easier to untangle if the lines become twisted.
-
Step 2
Mark the same corresponding colors on your winding tool so you won't get confused when you detach the line from the kite.
-
Step 3
Place both loops of the line set together at one corner of your kite winder. Wind to the opposite corner of the winder.
