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!

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.
