  • Love it
Seems to work wonderfully so far. Even with bulky blanket yarn! Definitely is fragile but I’m being careful with it. It’s prefect for the price tho!! Super easy to use.

  • Girlfriend loves this time-saver
When the skeins of yarn at the store fail you, this nifty contraption is here to save the day. My girlfriend recently purchased and she has told me on multiple occasions that she loves the thing. Quick and easy to assemble and operate, if you are in the venture of crafting using yarn this is a must purchase, according to her. Know what you are paying for. ... show more

  • This really works!
This winder is fantastic. If you knit or crochet and have ever had to wind yarn by hand this winder will save you a lot of time. The balls of yarn that you get are wound at an even tension and have a convenient center pull that keeps your yarn nice and neat. You can wind all sizes of yarn and almost all lengths. I have been able to wind an entire skein of worsted weight yarn in a single ball in minutes. The only thing you need to be careful of is the metal yarn guide, if it gets bent you won't be able to wind even balls and might as well get a new one. Quality for price is excellent! ... show more

  • Should Have Gotten It Sooner
I put off getting one of these for forever, but now every skein I have is a cake and it's very satisfying. It's a bit unstable, I had to get a block of wood to clamp it onto because the edge of my work table is beveled, and the bottom brace isn't super solid, but it winds really well with chunky and fingering weight yarns so far. I generally use things until they break so will update if I wreck it and how long it took. ... show more

  • Easy to use
Seller provided additional tips for better experience during first use - much appreciated! Worked great & would highly recommend. No longer reluctant to purchase hanks of yarn. Can easily convert to yarn cakes. It was fun to use!

  • Easy to use and works well
I wanted an affordable option for winding my yarn to avoid waiting in yarn stores and clean up my stash. This winder is easy to assemble and use. It can be used without a yarn swift, it’s just slower and you need to be more careful. The ball of yarn stays together well after removal.

  • Works well
I got this because every time I get halfway through a skein of yarn, it starts becoming a tangled mess. This does a nice job of winding it into a nice, compact ball.

  • I should have remembered!
I've had two wool-winders in the past: one is in storage and the other I gave away because it was so inferior. I decided I needed one soon so I ordered this, as I like the Knit Pick brand. Oh, no! It's the hopeless kind I gave away! First, it came with no pictorial instructions, so I had to assume that the clamp attached with the fiddly little clear plastic button. It seems unstable. Next, it's the tilted spindle that causes the yarn to loop strangely, often under the curved disc at the base. It does not wind firmly, and when taken off the spindle, the looseness gets worse. You can only wind relatively small cakes. All in all, any one of this kind is not worth buying. Look for a winder with a horizontal spindle and you will be in business! I give it three stars because this maybe adequate for some people, but for me, it's no better than winding the yarn into a ball. ... show more
