It is perfect accesory to take advantage of all your scraps of yarn. Facilitates the work and makes knitting a pleasure when you can knit without fear that your wool or acrylic yarn tangling. I recommend it 100%
My husband and I researched the various manual and electric yarn winders currently in the marketplace and settled on the Royal because of it's excellent reviews and recommendation by Mike of The Crochet Crowd. I was thrilled at how easy it was to assemble and immdiately wound at least 20 skeins of yarn. Helpful hint: hold the yarn between thumb & forefinger as it feeds into the winder for a nice, tight cake. I highly recommend this item to all crocheters & knitters - don't waste your time detangling yarn from the skein as you sew. This winder will cut your production time in half and you'll be able to organize your yarn and keep your work area nice and neat.
This winder was highly recommended to me, I balked at the price because I saw similar ones cheaper, but reviews seemed to tell of broken parts. I am happy with this purchase and the ease of ordering it.
Love this winder. Sure does save a lot of space when you have too many skeins of yarn. As with other reviews, you must keep tension of the yarn or it will wind around the bottom. Wished I'd bought it sooner.
Anyone who rolls up leftover balls of yarn should have the yarn ball winder. The video on how to use this, from a crochet website , shows just how easy and quick these balls can be made, then stack neatly on one another (try that with round balls) - just the slickest tool!
I've been winding yarn by hand for years, but when this went on sale I decided to get one and I love it! Works great, easy to use and it makes all my wound yarn uniform and easy to store!
I purchased a less expensive yarn winder and returned it after 2 weeks. The yarn "cake" would not wind in a manner that allowed it to sit in storage without falling apart. Do yourself a favor and get this Yarn Ball Winder! So much easier and quicker than winding a ball of yarn by hand! If you usually just use the yarn from the center pull of the skein, your partially used skeins will now sit neatly on a shelf or in a box. No more tangled yarn ends! No more mess! I put off getting the Royal Yarn Winder due to its price. After comparing other online sellers AND figuring the shipping and handling expense (come on: $10 to ship this little box?!), I purchased it from Walmart. It was not listed as the Royal brand, but I could tell by the pictures and price that this is what I would get. Walmart gives FREE SHIPPING when you pick it up at the your local store! Who can beat that for price and convenience??? No one!!!! Oh, and by the way, I love this yarn ball winder! TIPS: - Extend the metal piece (gently) as far as it wants to go, it should be in front of the spool, opposite the crank handle. - Always turn clockwise, the yarn is meant to be placed that way. - Let the yarn come in as straight a line as possible from the skein (I don't have an umbrella-type thing since I use inexpensive yarn from major manufacturers), through the metal loops, and onto the moving spool. - Let the yarn strand gently move through your fingers to keep a consistent tension. Do not pull the yarn tight as it comes from the skein or as it goes onto the spool because that will make the yarn loose it's 'spring' (or whatever the correct term is). I wasn't sure how tight would be too tight. I went with the 'felt tension' that made a nice yarn 'cake' and the yarn strands looked the same as when they were on the skein. Sorry I can't be more specific than this description! - When the yarn tangles as it comes from the skein (which happens more frequently than not) stop cranking before it pulls tight, untangle the mess and then undo a little of the yarn from the wound cake (yes, turn the crank backwards a little), then resume cranking. This seems to keep the wound cake at the right tension. Otherwise it gets loose where I stopped it and messes up the cake when it gets large enough to over-run the spool (That might not make sense until it happens to you, just forget this one until it actually happens.) - Keep the yarn wrapper and fold it so it can be slipped in the center space of the yarn 'cake'. I have so much yarn I need to know the details -- which yarn is washable by machine versus hand wash, etc. Works great when I am out-and-about! No messed up skeins and the cakes travel well (in contrast to a ball of yarn!). At home, I like to place the yarn in a shallow metal bowl and use the outer yarn strand. Have fun! If you get stuck check out the videos on YouTube for "yarn winder".
I love the Royal ball winder! From what I've read the electric winder stinks so I got this one instead. So far I love making yarn cakes! It's so much fun and quick! I put my cakes in a glass bowl and crochet away. I never have tangles or stuck yarn with these cakes and my crocheting has gotten much faster. This product works great and I'm happy to be organized!!!
I bought this Royal yarn ball winder and after watching the crochet crowd recommendation, I knew how to work it. Done exactly as they said it would. I was able to wind up all my yarn in a few days and I have a LOT of yarn. Now it makes nice balls, that will sit still beside me without rolling across the floor or getting tangled up. So it makes it easy to crochet on the go.
I was advised by a family member not to buy the less expensive model and I saw he electric winder in action and was less then impressed with it so I purchased this unit and with limited use, it has worked flawlessly. It will take any ball of yarn and turn it into a center pull ball of yarn. Robert
