Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've recently started "recycling" old sweaters by unraveling them and knitting them into something else. I wound my first center-pull ball by hand, and it took hours. I had been looking at ball winders, and the hand-winding experience convinced me to pay for the little machine that could do it more quickly and neatly than I could. I don't have a yarn swift; I just hold the sweater in one hand and wind the crank with the other, so the unraveling and winding are all done at once. I don't spin my own yarn, so I don't know how this would handle the stresses of constant use. The main moving parts are plastic, after all. But it's held up fine for me so far. In my opinion, it has paid for itself already with the amount of time I've saved.
Pros: Fast, neat, and the finished balls have a nifty diamond pattern when finished.
Cons: It gets loud when you're winding at a decent speed. When used with yarn containing fibers like angora, your workspace ends up layered in fuzz. Invest in a lint roller. The "sturdy table" to which you plan to clamp this can't be much thicker than 1", or the clamp might not be wide enough.

This brand new yarn ball winder is a great tool for knit and crochet. The clamp-on base allows it to be firmly fixed at the edge of tables, chairs, benches, or any convenient locations. It is best to be used with a swift winder which is also being sold at Amazon by Oriental Touch LLC. But you can easily replace a swift with other devices or simply your arms. The craftsmanship on these ball winders is superior. Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. To view this winder in action, please go to our youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahnTc7ocTOA
