Stanwood Needlecraft Large Metal Yarn/Fiber/Wool/String Ball Winder - 10 oz

After some research I decided to go with this model. More expensive but works like a dream. I expect it will give grest performance for many years.

I could kick myself for not ordering this years ago! Easy to set-up, easy to use and makes my crocheting experience that much more enjoyable. I add my cake onto a spindle type yarn holder that I ordered from Etsy and I couldnt be happier!

I love this ball winder, works like a charm.

The winder set up easily enough. Make sure the washer is above the end loop (actually a long U bend) of the long arm. The distal wire arm is the long wire that you have to attach, the proximal wire arm is the short wire that is already attached and spins around the bobbin. There is a large capacity clamp used to secure the winder to a work surface. Make sure you have enough clearance for the clamp handle and the winding handle to operate.

Works great!

After using my feet and losing circulation, bribing children to hold the hank, this is a major technological advance in my world.

Works great!

Sturdy, easy to use. Works well with large skeins of yarn and even thread.

I’ve tried 2 previous winders, the small plastic one, an expensive wooden one, and then I bought this one. By far, this one is the best for winding yarn. The first 2 that I owned constantly slipped the yarn when winding. This one never does that and it very consistent with all different types of yarns. I am extremely happy with this purchase.

Easy to assemble, shipped quickly, fun to use.
