"The Ball of Yarn" is a 19th-century oil painting by French artist Joseph Caraud (1821–1905). Known for his genre scenes and portraits, particularly of women and children, Caraud's work often captures intimate domestic moments with a sense of warmth and attention to detail. "The Ball of Yarn" is emblematic of his style, depicting a young woman engaged in the simple, everyday task of winding yarn.

The painting is characterized by its fine brushwork and the soft, diffused lighting that was popular among artists of the time. The subject is typically shown seated, her attention focused on the yarn, which serves as the central motif of the composition. The use of color and texture in the depiction of the yarn and the woman's attire highlights Caraud's skill in rendering different materials and surfaces.

As a work of art, "The Ball of Yarn" is appreciated for its portrayal of 19th-century domestic life and the roles of women within the private sphere. It reflects the period's artistic interest in realism and the depiction of quotidian scenes. The painting is also an example of the influence of the French bourgeoisie on art during the Second Empire and the later years of the 19th century, when there was a growing market for genre paintings that depicted the genteel activities of the middle class.

"The Ball of Yarn" by Joseph Caraud remains a significant piece for its contribution to the genre of domestic realism and for its insight into the social and cultural norms of the time. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader context of 19th-century European art.
