No More Aching Arm Muscles

Did a test run with a skein of ordinary yarn and it worked! I had to restrain myself from using it on all the skeins in my stash.

Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with our Yarn Ball Winder. We're glad to hear that it's helping with your arm muscles 💪 and that you had to stop yourself from using it on all your skeins 😉 Keep on crafting and happy winding! - Claudia

Yarn Ball Winder

Great little ball winder! It’s probably not THE best one out there, but it’ll be perfect for me!! I don’t have that much yarn. Just needed something for doing a few a week. Love the Teal color too! I would have requested the red one, but now that I have it in Teal I love it!! 🥰

Hi there! Thank you for leaving a review for our Yarn Ball Winder. We're so happy to hear that it's working well for you and that you love the Teal color. We appreciate your feedback and hope it continues to serve you well for your yarn winding needs. Happy crafting!

So satisfying

I really love using this ball winder. The cakes are so easy to use and it helps me keep my massive collection of yarn organized. I spent so many gleeful hours using this. I do wish the yarn guide was more stable; while it does click into position, it still fell often. And it would be nice to be able to wind yarn a bit tighter- sometimes, you couldn’t get a whole skein into one cake.

Yarn Winder

The item works very well. Easy to use, inexpensive, and efficient. The only change I’d like is for the spindle to be smaller in diameter so the ball of yarn is more firm.

ok

It works but was hard to find something to clamp it onto since the clamp doesn't open much.

This is my first one so I can’t compare or complain. It was easy to use and my balls come out like I needed them to. I think it was a good buy

Works great!

I have wound 3 skeins of wool, all different weights. Did a nice job turning them into cakes which take up less space and easy to knit from.

Awesome! Your happiness is our goal

This winder is so much better than the Loops&Threads brand. I love this winder! 5/5 easy to set up and use.

Thanks a bunch for your glowing review

Decent, but brittle

The winder works decently well, though the metal arm doesn't lock like it should on the one I got. After I fixed that, it's fine. Definitely worth the price point!

I have lots of yarn to wind, I hope it works easier and fast than my winding pin even though I don't have a swift yet

We're grateful to have you as a customer

Easy to Use & Store

Since this winder can be taken apart for storage & reassembled, I find myself pulling it out quite often! It works either direction, making it useful whether right or left handed.

Im excited to start using

Im excited to start using this to wind my hanks and leftover bits of yarn. My husband was a bit intrigued with the mechanism and was a sure I would be disappointed with the whole thing. The winder had slid out of its box and the yarn cone and collar had slid off the arm. Once I set everything right the whole winder made sense then.

Worth the price

Great for those thinner yarns!

I got this winder to help me keep my lace and fingerling yarn in order. Having to roll the balls by hand was very time consuming. Now it only takes a few minutes and saves my fingers! Definitely an item worth having if you're like me and love the lace weight yarns.

Awesome! :)Thank you for your feedback:heart_eyes: - Claudia

Not as sturdy as some

Not as sturdy as some yarn winders that I have borrowed but much better than others. Good value for the price point if you get it on sale and a winder is very helpful for dealing with the hanks that most of the silk comes in.

Thank you for the feedback:purple_heart:

Yarn Ball Winder

The yarn ball winder shipped quickly. Now I need to actually use it! It came with simple instructions. (The instructions referred to a red knob, but this one is blue.)

Enjoy!:wink:

Great Yarn Ball Winder For The Price

They winder works well, I have to hold the yarn as it winds into the guide for support. It gets the job done in a short amount of time.
