Terrific!

I enjoy my subscription box… but it’s even better to now have a table-top winder.
Makes it even easier to use the mobile wrist yarn holder with cakes wound with my new tool to create new bags!

Hi Judi,

Thank you for your positive feedback on our Darn Good Tote Bag Crochet Pattern! We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying your subscription box and that the table-top winder has made your crafting process even easier. We love seeing our customers use our products to create new and unique items, such as bags. Keep up the great work and happy crafting!

Best,
Claudia🙂
