Keep yarn from twisting while knitting two strands from two skeins held together
Any ideas appreciated!

I'm knitting an afghan with two strands held together. The yarn from the two skeins twists and it's driving me crazy! I have tried...

*using a ball winder on each skein individually
*using a ball winder for the two skeins together
*using yarn straight from the skein without winding
*taking working yarn from the inside of the winded yarn
*taking working yarn from the outside of the winded yarn

Help! I feel like I'm spending only half my time knitting and the other half of my time un-twisting the yarn.

p.s. I tried to just knit with it twisted and ignore it, but I can't. I just can't do it.

Suggestions? Experience? Hope???
