Perfect!
Color: Ocean Blue Set
These are just what I needed. I've been buying quality yarn lately, which is wound in a particular way. Getting them wound into a ball by hand would take me a couple hours because I had no way to stretch the skein out and it would get tangled. The umbrella swift is PERFECT for this and the ball winder makes the best little center pull cakes of yarn! I spent a good 10 hrs one night just winding yarn. Once you figure out how to get it onto the swift and work out all the little issues, it goes smoothly for the most part. I will say that sometimes, the thing to stretch the swift gets stuck and you have to work to get it to stretch out again but that's rare ans certainly not worth complaining about since it's saving me several hours a skein. This is a cheap enough set to try and see how you like it. I've got plans for the future to buy a 'nicer' quality set but this actually works well for my uses so until it falls apart completely, I'll be using it. I just wish the swift would open a little more. Oftentimes the skein is hanging pretty loosely when the swift is opened as far as it will go and that seems to make it want to tangle as you're unwinding it but again, it's a learning curve and once you figure that out, you can kind of watch for it and anticipate it happening. Both the swift and the ball winder turn smoothly and will run very quickly together. The only big problem I've had is that the ball winder is plastic and that makes for a slippery surface that the yarn is winding on. It's happened a couple times that suddenly, the entire cake of yarn just flies off the winder! The swift folds down to a pretty small size but the ball winder itself doesn't really compact in any way. But I've got places to stash them in my craft room and even if you don't, they'll both fit in a drawer or small box together. These were a great buy for me. They're saving me a ton of time on winding yarn and they make these adorable little perfect center-pull cakes of yarn. I was going to buy a really nice set made of wood. That set was almost $300. These are fine and because I didn't spend a whole lot on them, I've already gotten my money out of them and they're still going strong. ... show more

GET THESE NOW!!
Color: Ocean Blue Set
If you are considering purchasing this swift and wonder set, I’m here to convince you to do yourself a favor and buy it. I am relatively new to knitting and have been hand-winding my hanks. Honestly, it was probably the most frustrating part of the knitting process. Not only has this set made the winding process faster/easier, it has also motivated me to wind ALL of the hanks I've been accumulating. Because winding yarn is now an enjoyable activity! And I had no idea how organized having cakes instead of hanks/skeins would made my knitting collection! Seeing my stash now, as Marie Kondo would say, “sparks joy”. It’s also incredibly easy to knit with! Also, if the cakes start to unravel while using them (I transport a lot of my projects), I don’t sweat it because I know how easy it will be to re-wind them! I am kind of picky with the quality of my knitting products (I almost exclusively use merino wool, Addi needles, glass stitch markers, etc) and was worried that, due to its price (I paid $38 for the set), these tools would be sub-par and potentially damage my (fairly expensive) yarn. Since I wasn’t sure I even needed a swift/winder (I did), I did not want to invest in a pricey model (I’d rather spend my money on yarn and needles). But these work brilliantly! I have to say, the first time I used the swift the yarn was feeding downward and caught on the metal rungs. However, I quickly learned that the height of the swift can be adjusted (basically everything on the thing can be adjusted), and I lowered the swift closer toward the table so that the yarn would feed straight into the winder, eliminating the unwanted angle. You can see in the last picture that the metal spoke of the swift is below the plane of the table top- this is where I adjusted the height to make it even with the winder. And as far as the winder goes, it is also brilliant! The max capacity is 100g of yarn, and it winds that amount perfectly (so long as the yarn is taught and the tension is consistent). When I use the swift with the winder, the proper amount of tension naturally occurs. But when I was re-winding skeins into the cakes for storage, I had to control the yarn feed with my hand (which was almost enjoyable because it went so fast!). Also, I need to note that the yarn on the winder in my pictures (deep pink) is actually 130g - and the winder handled it like a champ! I didn’t even realize until I saw how big the cake was (compared to the others) and checked the yarn label. Needless to say, I was impressed! So, in short, if you are considering this set I HIGHLY RECOMMEND buying it. It will improve your knitting life for the better. And it’s a great deal. Such a small price to pay for knitting bliss! ... show more

Works very well!
Color: Ocean Blue Set
This winder has been beyond helpful. There’s a small learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it’s quite easy to work with. I took one star off bc the yarn does get hung up on the metal connectors on the end of each “wing”, but it’s nothing I can’t work around.

Works like a dream, highly recommend
Color: Ocean Blue Set
I've been using the knit picks winder for the last few years and it has been nothing but problems right out of the box. Constantly having to rewind balls because the tension drops or the angle shifts. It finally broke on me not too long ago and was irreparable, happily forcing me to buy a new one. The ball winder in this set is smooth as butter and very obviously more sturdy than the knit picks winder. I am so beyond happy to have finally got a new one. I didn't really need a skein holder. I have one of those wooden one, I think I paid $100 for it. It's pretty sturdy, however one of the spoke thingies did break but I repaired it and it's still usable. That being said, the skein holder in this set is definitely an upgrade. It's better quality and has more features to it. The adjusting handle for skein width is very useful as it's a quick clip and release design. There is a very nifty handle at the top that allows for quick manual skein winding if you need it (very useful if you do not have a niddy noddy). And I like that it comes with a case to store it in. The clamp that secures this skein holder to the table or counter is a bit tricky at first. When mine arrived it seemed almost unadjustable because the screw tension was so tight and so the parts were kind of stuck together, but I tried a little harder to loosen the screw part and from there it was very easy to use. It will take some getting used to. Overall I definitely recommend this set. You are getting great quality equipment for an absolute deal. Whether you are a beginner enthusiast or experienced professional this set is essential for fiber artists working with yarn. I was going to go with the more expensive wooden set that I've seen here on amazon, but am glad to have gone with this one instead. Great quality and stores much easier allowing more room for my yarn stash. Happy winding people, may your yarn never tangle! ... show more

Easy winding.
Color: Ocean Blue Set
This worked really well! It certainly saved me a lot of time and effort compared to hand winding. Easy to set up and it folds up for storage- a nice feature.

Fun and tidy way to store yarn.
Color: Coral Pink Only
Fun and easy to use. I much prefer a cake of yarn over a ball or skein shape. Yarn stays tidy and easy to store. I just finished an afghan and it went so much faster with a cake shape of yarn. My cats left it alone, no tangling or knitting up. Worth every penny. I now have volunteers to turn my yarn skeins into cakes for me. They all store nicely in my square basket. ... show more

Good value
Color: Ocean Blue Set
Easy to use for winding skeins of yarn into cakes. A good value for the money. Works much better than an expensive set up that I had in the past.

Not for winding large cakes
I like that it's a true tabletop model that doesn't need to be clamped to the table. It's got enough weight to stay in place while winding. There are a few problems that keep me from giving a higher rating. First, it lags upon starting, sometimes doesn't want to spin at all. I adjust the speed but it still lags. The bigger problem is the small base. If the cake diameter becomes wider than the bottom of the spindle, yarn gets jammed between the clear spindle and the pink base. The two pieces must be allowed to move independently because the spindle rotates on the base. There's no way to prevent the yarn from getting caught. With that, I've also had the spindle come off while winding, flying off the unit and across the room (luckily not hitting my face). I'm not sure if I locked the spindle in fully it not, so there's a chance of user error. I wish the spindle had a larger diameter base to wind larger cakes. I've had to remove yarn from the Olikraft and rewind it again on the hand crank winder, which can accommodate a much larger cakes. ... show more
