  • Love This Machine!!!!
Color: Light pink
Easy to set up and use. Really pleased with how quickly my yarn bundles turned into "yarn cakes." Even more pleased when I finally realized that if I took the string from the center of the cake instead of from the side, that my yard cake stayed in place when using my electric I-Cord machine. No chasing the cake around the floor. I did put it inside a bowl just in case, but it didn't budge at all. The machine also stops on its own if it encounters any snagged yarn. You just clear the snag, turn the machine off, and turn it back on to resume where it left off. Also, I had absolutely no trouble with the cake wall collapsing as the yarn was used up. When it got close to the end, the yarn remained in a neat circle as it was being used up by the I-Cord machine. Would definitely buy this again! ... show more

  • Easy and Quick
Color: Light pink
I love this yarn winder. This is my first yarn winder, so I don't have anything else to compare to, but it was easy and quick to set up and use. I have already used it a few times and I haven't had any issues yet. It's so fun and satisfying to use.

  • This is totally the way to wind yarn!
I’ve been using a manual yarn winder for sometime now, and I didn’t think the Electric version would make a significant difference, but thought it would be nice to have a back up anyway, so I didn’t have high expectations for this thing. So I was pleasantly surprised to discover that not only is this thing easier to use than the manual winder, but it does a much more uniform ball and makes it considerably faster. Features I really like: The automatic-ness. No cranking needed. The tension springs. I didn’t see this coming, but these things are awesome. They make it so that not only Kenneth help it do its thing without assistance, but it allows you to pre-determine how tight you want the final ball to be. If you wanted a loose ball morphs easily, such as you might want for a hand made project, just turned the tension down. If you want tight balls, that will stay together. Well, turn the tension high. And having two of them is the perfect way of keeping it from moving the string around in unintentional ways. The auto stop safety function. On my very first yarn ball, the very end of it was tangled, so when it got to that point, it simply stopped the machine rather than breaking the machine or even breaking the yarn. Neither happened. If the device is fully charged, you can simply turn it off and back on again to reset it, but if it doesn’t have enough charge, you just stick it back on the USB wire and then do the off and on switch, and it’ll be up and going like nothing’s wrong. It’s a nice feature. It does have a little sign on the front that says this, but it is helpful to know that if it doesn’t turn immediately back on, just plug it in again, and try again and it’ll work. On that note, I consider it also a good feature that you don’t have to have it charged in order to use it. You can simply plug it in to the wall and use it while it’s plugged in. It doesn’t force you to wait till it isn’t plugged in or has charge to be ableuse it. That’s always a plus. Things I found less favorable: Nothing major, in fact, I really have no complaints at all, but this might be a concern to somebody more than me. There is a little bit of assembly required. It’s neither complicated nor is it a lot, but it does come in a few pieces, which may look intimidating to some at first. And though the instruction sheet is a little unclear about the later steps, the image itself in the instructions will be plenty for almost everybody to put it together properly. Again, not a big deal, but if you have a serious phobia of assembly, you might want to get your teenager to do it for you. But seriously, it’s not at all difficult – – it took me about a minute and a half. Now that I’ve tried this thing, my manual winder is now my backup. This will be my primary yarn winder for sure! Very highly recommended! ... show more

  • Something I didn't realize I *needed*. 😆
Apparently, as I'm getting back into crocheting after a million years, I have decided that what my already-busy life really needed was another hobby AND an electric yarn winder. 😂 I honestly never knew I needed this thing until I started crocheting again. For some reason, despite having approximately 47 other things I should be doing, I suddenly felt the urge to pick up a crochet hook again. And once I started looking at yarn, I realized that winding it into nice, neat cakes by hand was NOT going to be my favorite part of this adventure. Enter this little gadget. I LOVE IT. Instead of sitting there cranking a manual yarn winder like I'm operating a tiny Victorian factory, I can let this thing do the work while I... well... probably buy more yarn. 😂 It creates nice, tidy yarn cakes, and I really like being able to adjust the speed depending on what type of yarn I'm using. The tension system helps keep the yarn feeding smoothly, and so far I've been really impressed with how evenly it winds. The cordless design is another huge win. It's rechargeable via USB-C, so I can use it at my craft table, on the couch, or wherever I've decided to set up my latest "I'm totally going to finish this project" station. 😂 And it's surprisingly quiet, which means I don't have to listen to a tiny motor screaming at me while I'm trying to crochet. The 12-ounce capacity is also great because I can wind a decent amount of yarn without having to stop constantly. And I appreciate the auto-stop feature if the yarn gets tangled or encounters too much resistance. Anything that prevents me from creating a yarn catastrophe gets bonus points in my book. The ABS construction feels sturdy, the metal components have a nice finish, and the whole thing feels much more substantial than I expected. And can we talk about how much easier this makes getting back into crocheting? I have enough to remember without also having to remember how to wind yarn properly. 😂 For the quality, convenience, cordless functionality, capacity, and the sheer amount of time it saves, I think this is a great value for the money. Five stars! I haven't crocheted anything in approximately a million years, and somehow my return to the craft has already resulted in me owning an electric yarn winder. Apparently I'm back. And I have gadgets now. 😂 ... show more

  • Assembly required
This electric yarn ball winder will take some practice to use. It seems large enough in capacity to hold a full ball of yarn when you are undoing your work. The motor is rechargeable so you are not going to go through batteries. I love that. It only comes in one design and color. It is made of plastic and while it looks intuitive to use, I am going to take my time figuring it out. All in all, this yarn winder is worth the cost, seems to work as designed and some will need to practice with it to use it to its full potential. ... show more

  • Electric Yarn Winder
Having a lot of yarn on hand is a great problem to have, but loose skeins and partially used hanks can turn into a pretty tangled situation. This electric yarn ball winder has been a nice way to get everything organized without spending a ton of time manually winding yarn. The cakes come out neat, compact, and much easier to stack and store than a pile of unruly skeins. The less effort it takes compared to a hand-crank winder is massive. Once it's set up and running, it does most of the work for you. That makes a difference when working through multiple skeins in one sitting. It's especially helpful when I'm organizing a stash or prepping yarn before starting a project. The yarn cakes it produces are easy to pull from and fit nicely into storage bins. Since I tend to keep a fairly large yarn collection, having everything wound into uniform cakes makes it much easier to see what I have and keep things from becoming a jumbled mess. My shelves definitely look more organized now. The machine has handled the yarns I've tested without much trouble. As with any winder, taking a little care with tension helps produce the best results, but once I got into a rhythm it worked smoothly. It saved me quite a bit of time compared to winding everything by hand. I also appreciate that it helps make older or partially used skeins more manageable. Instead of dealing with yarn flopping around in project bags, I can wind it into a tidy cake and put it away until I need it again. It's one of those craft tools that solves a small annoyance that comes up over and over. The noise level is noticeable since it is an electric unit, but it's not something that bothered me. I'd rather listen to a bit of motor noise for a few minutes than spend the same time cranking by hand. For larger winding sessions, the convenience wins out. For yarn lovers, knitters, and crocheters who have accumulated more yarn than they'll willingly admit to family members, this is a practical addition to the craft room. It makes storage easier, helps keep yarn organized, and takes much of the work out of creating clean, usable yarn cakes. It's been a genuinely useful tool that gets regular use in my crafting routine. ... show more

  • An Absolute Game-Changer for Yarn Management – Worth Every Penny for Crafters!
This knitly Automatic Yarn Winder is absolutely amazing, and I honestly regret not getting one for my craft room much sooner. It arrived well-packaged, and I was thrilled to find that it was incredibly easy to assemble and to set up right out of the box, allowing me to start winding immediately. It handles large skeins of yarn so much faster than I ever could manually, consistently producing high-quality, perfectly tensioned, and neat yarn cakes. It is remarkably reliable; it feeds the yarn smoothly without any tangles, and the smart safety feature is a standout—if it encounters an unexpected snag, it automatically stops pulling to prevent any damage to my yarn. I also love the flexibility of being able to adjust the winding speed in real-time, which is a major advantage when working with different types of fibers. The only minor downside was the initial condition of the item; upon opening the box, I noticed that the winder arrived with a few small cosmetic scratches on the exterior. However, despite these minor aesthetic flaws that do not affect performance at all, I still highly recommend this product to any serious crocheter or knitter. While it is certainly on the higher end of the price spectrum, it is a fantastic, time-saving investment that you absolutely will not regret! ... show more
