Electric Yarn Ball Winder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used a lot of different ball winders. The price is low. It is noisy.
It has no strength to pull yarn off a swift. So you will have to unwind the yarn in order for it to wind. Also if you need to unknit a project. I suppose by having this feature it is impossible to burn out the motor. If you are a handspinner and wish to wind off your bobbins on a Kate, it does a decent job.
If you are hoping this tool will save you time. It won't... There are hand winding models available that will most likely outlive this one and money better spent.

Yarn Ball Winder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been using this ball winder for a year. The spindle that holds the yarn has broken down, and sometimes flies off the winder while I'm in the middle of winding a ball. Also, you definitely can't wind balls bigger than about 4 - 5 oz of yarn - if you have a bigger skein, you will probably need to go down to your LYS to ask them to help out, or you can wind it up the old fashioned way. All-in-all, it's a decent product for small skeins of yarn, but with bits of it already breaking off, I'm not seeing it worth the price.

Yarn Ball Winder Hand-operated YBW-B Review

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
