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

It has made working with yarn so much easier and faster.

I am an avid knitter and this does not wind yarn well. It’s hard to use and makes a big mess. Buy the simpler one. Makes a better cake:

When I first started knitting I purchased a less expensive winder and fought with it every time I had to wind yarn, I got so tired of it that I started doing research on winders. This was the top rated winder, I struggled a little with the price but decided to purchase the winder. Im so glad I did, the winder operation is smooth and setup is extremely easy. Im sure this will last forever.

I was doing several projects using bulky or super bulky yarns so I needed a ball winder that would handle them. Getting the yarn through the guides is easy enough but the yarn doesnt stay in the spindle groove to start and I always start winding the wrong way, so it takes me several tries to get wraps going right. Once I do, however, its speedy and fun. It is noisy. I helps to either hold down the support rod with one hand or put something under it to dampen the racket.

I have used various winders over the years, and this is the best one.

It was fine while it worked, which was for a while. The gears became warped after a few months, then eventually they became stripped. I think they just were not lined up properly.

If you are a regular knitter, this winder is well worth the price - ever with shipping costs to Europe. Winds smoothly, not as noisy as all those plastic winders.

This was my 3rd try at a yarn winder and i will never go back. This is by far well worth the money. Its simple and easy to set up. Well built and good materials. The balls are nice and tight and even balls. I would recommend this for all yarn crafters with large yarn stashes.

This is wonderful and will wind a great big 10-oz. ball of yarn.

Great product. Great quality
