  • The Perfect Winder!
I'm a casual crocheter and keep my yarn stash relatively small, but I wanted a way to keep partial skeins more organized. I read a blog post about yarn ball winders and based on that I was going to purchase one that cost around $75 and was rather large. After meeting with my local knit/crochet group, this one was recommended by more than one person so I purchased it instead. I'm so glad I saved myself about $50 because this winder works perfectly! It was easy to put together and use with the instructions on the side of the box. It feels very solid in parts and while using it. I have a small kitchen table and I attached it to that with ease. In fact, I haven't moved it from the table even though we use the table a lot because it's a small item and doesn't get in the way. The only negative, if you can call it that, is that more slippery yarns, like Caron Simply Soft, don't hold together in a ball as well as, say, Red Heart Super Saver. I actually made a partial ball of CSS fly off the winder because I was cranking too fast. I use CSS a lot, so if you're like me, just know you should crank a little slower and the balls will be a little looser. They still do hold together okay and are easy to craft from once wound. Even with that, I'm still very happy with this purchase and am so glad my knit/crochet club recommended it. It does exactly what I need it to do, nothing I don't, and is a small and compact item. I'd recommend it to any casual crafter. ... show more

  • All That & A Bag of Chips!!!!!
I do not have any idea why I waited as long as I did to purchase this! Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine it would work so well! If you want to know how well I think it works, let me just say this; I am contemplating sending out a message to the entire county that I live in, offering free yarn rolling services because it works so great it makes it fun and fascinating! Even the male family members in my life stood around watching in awe because we were all just so fascinated at how simple it was and how fast it works. You simply assemble the winder, attach it to a solid surface, guide the yarn you are winding through the metal yarn guide arm that comes folded against the ball winder, (prior to this the guide arm needs to be moved and positioned opposite the winding handle for correct operation). I did not purchase a yarn swift along with this because I did not think it required the use of one. In fact, the instructions on the box are worded in a way that made me worry I did in fact need one but I can promise you that you don't. I dropped the yarn being wound to the floor or in a box, used my left hand to guide it with the appropriate tension going to the winder and turned the crank with my right hand and presto! I had a small box overflowing with yarn that needed wound and organized and when I was finished the box was barely half full. So not only am I going to be more organized but I undoubtedly have created space for more yarn!!! Because you can never have enough yarn, right? ? (My husband disagrees with that statement but nobody asked him hehe ..... :) The product states you can wind skeins up to 100 grams or 3.5 ounces and I can attest to this and more. I actually wound a skein that was 6 ounces (oops didn't read all instructions prior) and it did complete it to my satisfaction, however the crank felt mighty heavy as I was nearing the end and started making loud click sounds so I don't recommend going way over the recommended amounts so to not cause short life span of the winder. I hope this helps everyone in deciding whether or not to purchase because I would have sooner if I had found a review equal to mine! ... show more

  • Make sure your table or counter has a SQUARE EDGE!! Otherwise, fast and easy.
I had thought I'd mount this on the edge of my dining table --- well, maybe the kitchen counter? --- well maybe on the edge of the vanity cabinet? NOPE! It's gotta be a square edge top and bottom and you need about an inch and a half under the edge for the clamp. I ended up with a small end table which was none too sturdy, but it did the job. The table I used was only fifteen inches off the floor, so I had to kneel while I was winding. But NOT TO WORRY! It's so fast you won't have to stay down there long, but you will look for a better place next time. I wound two skeins into balls in just a few minutes. I didn't need a swift because I was not using a hank and I would have had to unwind the skein to wind it onto the swift --- no point in doing that! Anyway, it was easy enough to assemble and it was fast and easy to use. Highly recommended unless you are doing this for a living. Then you might want something more robust. But for a few skeins and for a project I un-knitted to reuse the yarn!!! A must have tool, this. Get one; you won't regret it. Take it to your library and attach it to a library table. You'll be finished before the librarian comes to tell you it is not allowed! I may try that next time!! ... show more

  • Toss the box, there's no going back
So I bought this particular one because the price was not unreasonable and the color more subdued than some others for sale--I dislike garishly colored tools, just my preference. I've now used it for several balls and it seems to wind evenly enough and produced some very nice tidy cakes, although this IS a small winder and so only relatively small skeins can be accommodated. Assembly was not too difficult. Using it was easy. However...go ahead and toss the box it comes in, you'll never be able to use it for storage. Once you click the thread guide wire into place? You will literally break the winder before getting it to swing back to the side (the position it arrives in). During assembly it snaps into a groove with side "bumps" keeping it in place and it seems there is NO getting it back out of those, however hard you wrench at it (and I don't advise that--mine looks slightly bent now and is still stuck in that groove). Not spring-loaded, no release latch, no play in it, no way out. So the guide wire remains permanently sticking out the one side, and the winder no longer fits into the box. Gonna be awkward to figure out how to store this thing, since I don't plan to leave it on my table when not in use and even with the cylinder and clamp arm removed it is still a very odd shape. So knock off a star for that, because I don't appreciate that unexpected annoyance. ... show more

  • Great purchase
I got this because my family has been doing more and more crochet and winding yarn balls my hand takes forever and leaving them alone makes them knot up. I got this and my kids spent a ton of time having fun and winding up all their yarn which is now tons more organized. The only downside it is that is too small to do an entire skein of yarn so we usually end up turning each skein into 2 cakes. This isn't a big deal for us because we mainly crochet animals but if you were doing big things like blankets you might want a bigger one. Super easy to use and set up - we found it easiest to have one person holding the yarn and watching for tangles while the other spun the handle, but it can easily be done with one person. I love that it easily stores away. ... show more

  • Good product for price.
I am happy with this product and recommend it for anyone using it for a similar use as myself. I purchased his winder for personal use. My skeins are generally 3.5 oz. This winder is easy to set up and the assembly instructions and directions for use are printed on the side of the box. Maximum table lip edge is 1 3/4 ". It is compact, light (plastic) and winds smoothly and quietly. I wind at a moderate rate and the cakes are evenly wound. I can work from the center pull string easily. My earlier purchase of Lacis In-Line Yarn Ball Winder MO05 for $36 proved very disappointing. I thought it's flat design (without the spinning angled shaft) would be more to my liking for compactness. Unfortunately, it wound uneven and the yarn came off the shaft at times. It made a clicking noise which later proved to be a gear which fell out after only two skeins of use. ... show more

  • Yarn Cakes Made Easy
Love it! I have a crafts business and use a lot of yarn. Yarn storage has always been a challenge, as skein sizes vary so much between weights. This handy-dandy ball winder provides uniform yarn "cakes" regardless of yarn weight, making it much easier to organize and store. I easily use this without a yarn swift, holding the yarn in my fingers to keep the tension. I place the skein in a plastic bin set on the floor before starting. The bin keeps the yarn from bouncing all over the floor. It took me a few different bin sizes before finding one that worked well. The winner was the "Essentials Round Plastic Storage Buckets with Handles, 9.375x12.375 in," from Dollar Tree. Highly recommend picking up this item (for only $1!), or something similar in size. HUGE help! As others have mentioned, it does squeak. I'm sure a drop of WD-40 or whatever you have on hand in the kitchen could fix it. It hasn't annoyed me enough yet to try. To keep the finished cake from unraveling, I use a plastic alligator clip (search Amazon using "B078PQ96CP" to find). The clips work really well and allow me to tag each cake with its brand, color, and weight. Highly recommend this easy to assemble, easy to use tool. Particularly if, like me, you have a lot of yarn! ... show more

  • CROCHETER’S DREAM
I did the research and read the reviews on this product before buying. I also did YouTube videos for instructions. 1) Easy to assemble and very user friendly 2) You must keep even tension on the yarn as you spin 3) I did not have any issues with the yarn popping off or wrap not being uniform. I did a new 5oz skein into 2 balls. Both were equally executed. Took less than 2 minutes total. They wrap in cakes so easy storage and since it has a flat bottom it makes it easy to use without the yarn ball rolling away or my case, one of cats grabbing it thinking it is a toy LOL 4) Machine was easily disassembled and stored into same package 5) There were complaints of noise; I did not experience this at this time and may need to edit my review at a later date. Everyone who did experience squeaking noted WD40 did the trick 6) I would definitely buy this product again if this one wears out 7) I marked durability as only a 4; this is because I have only used it twice so far. I will mark as a 5 if I find it holds up after multiple uses For me, this was a great value and will be used frequently. Time saver as well ... show more
