Does anyone else put in a ball band from the yarn used to knit the item when
it is a gift? I have found this is much easier than attaching a tag with
care instructions.

include the label for the yarn, we also include any leftover - even if
it is an entire ball - so that if repairs are needed in future, matching
yarn is at hand. I once found this invaluable when my dh managed to
tear a hole in a sweater knit by his cousin. I was able to make a
perfect repair.

I attach a short length of the yarn to the ball band (two holes in the
band and secure the yarn with a lark's head knot) right above the
laundry instructions. Or, if the garment is big enough, I sew in a
fabric label with the laundry instructions. I have a supply gotten
from one of those personalized-label suppliers; I sent them text for
the otherwise-blank labels.
