Description

Transform hanks or skeins into compact center-pull balls that sit nicely while you knit. A clamp secures the ball winder to the table while you wind skeins up to 100 grams or 3.5 ounces. Best when used in tandem with a Yarn Swift. Note: The metal yarn guide arm comes folded against the ball winder for shipping. The guide arm needs to be moved and positioned opposite the winding handle for correct operation. Yarn hanks need to be wound into cakes or balls before knitting or crocheting! A hank is a loop of yarn with two ends; if you knit directly from an opened hank, your yarn may become tangled. By winding a hank into a cake, you create a portable ball of yarn that is easy to work from and will not tangle. Use a Yarn Swift to hold hanks of yarn open and in place as you wind them into cakes using a Ball Winder.

Easy to assemble
Color: Green
I’ve never had one of these before and so when I started to look I wasn’t sure which to get. I’m so pleased with this one!! Easy to assemble and works great. I work with thicker yarn so I have to split my bundles sometimes but other than that works like a charm. Worth the money

Yarn Caker

The yarn caker is easy to use. It is a great way to keep all the leftover yarn from projects, nice and neat!

A solid reliable ball winder for beginners
Color: Purple
The media could not be loaded. A great ball winder at a good price for beginners to start with. As you evolve, there are other smoother and larger cake winders, but this is a solid win. Easy to set up and use.

Works very smoothly!
Color: Purple
I bought this because I could not find my previous ball winders. I love KnitPicks and have found the company's yarns and tools to be top-rate. It isn't completely necessary to have a ball winder, but it makes balling skeined yarn much easier. I used this one in combination with a very old umbrella swift which had belonged to a friend's mom or grandmother (thank you, Marie!). It was a bit challenging, figuring out how to use these two in combination, but I did figure it out. Pros: the winder works very smoothly. The handle resists moving in a counter-clockwise motion. You can only turn it to the right. The instructions for setting up the winder are on the box. The pieces are very sturdy, even the plastic ones. Cons: Once assembled, the winder does not fit back in the box it came in for storage, because the metal yarn guide arm will not fold back down. AND you must fold the yarn guide arm up and into place to use the winder. This is a minor annoyance, since I will need to find another box and cut up the box it came in to keep the information in one place. One tip for new users: after winding the yarn, I roll up the paper/cardboard tag with the yarn/fiber info, etc., and slide it into the middle of the new yarn cake as I slip it off the spindle. You could also tape the info card to itself around the spindle, but the card with the info for these particular skeins was smaller than the necessary diameter. ... show more

Works Great!
Color: Purple
This thing is great! I love being able to convert skeins of yarn into those cake things so I can use them on that dangly yarn holder. (Sorry for the lack of lingo.)

2 internal gears broke, not unusable, but extremely loud.
Color: Purple
She works well. But after several months of use, I've had 2 teeth on the gear that have snapped clean off from inside. It became extremely loud and jumps while I wind yarn. More petite yarns tend to slip off and get thrown off the winder while it's spinning. Otherwise, it's easy to use and still makes great yarn cakes, but I wish it held up better. ... show more
