This is a handy ball winder to help you wind your yarn!
The Hobbii ball winder is an amazing tool for winding yarn! When you use this type of ball winder, you get really nice, cake-shaped balls of yarn that’ll stand upright on their own. You can start your newly wound ball of yarn from the inside or outside, depending on your choice.
If you need to unravel your work, this ball winder is also a big help. Just attach your yarn end to the tool and crank the handle, and soon you’ll have a nice ball of yarn to start over with. This ball winder also works great with an umbrella yarn swift if you’re winding from a hank.
Directions:
Attach the device firmly to a table (no thicker than 5 cm/2”) by tightening the screw under the table. Work the yarn through the metal eye and tie a knot / make a loop at the end of the yarn. Attach the loop / yarn end to the notch on the cylinder, and VOILA – you can now wind your yarn faster than you can by hand.

I am so glad I purchased this yarn winder. After getting halfway through a Mega Ball skein of yarn it collapsed. I ended up winding 3 balls out of what was left. Even though it only makes a 4 ounce ball, it's better than spending the time trying to unknot your yarn. I found if you use the cardboard tube from a paper towel or toilet paper roll (cut it down to size) it also keeps the ball from getting squished while in storage. (be patient in winding with the cardboard tube).

Makes cakes with a lovely pattern for easier use of yarn and you get the choice of pulling from center or outside. It's easy to set up on the edge of a table and can make quick work of winding, depending on how fast you can turn the handle.

This yard winder is a must have. What a wonderful invention. I am constantly having to rewind and untangle wool. The winder has made light work of unmanageable balls of yarn and turning them to nice neat balls of yarn. Highly recommend.

This winder was easy to use and, quite frankly, fun! After making cakes out of the skeins I needed for a project, I immediately caked all of the random half skeins I had lying around :)

I’m so glad I purchased this! It’s so easy to use, and the cakes turn out so well! This is a game changer for me!
