Yarn Winder, Knitting Yarn Ball Winder,Knitting Wool Winder Holder, Swift Table Top Hand Operated Winder,Manual Wool Yarn Cone Ball Winder - 180x135x100mm

Works absolutely perfect. The thread holder doesn’t lock up completely, it gets a little loose, but nothing a small piece of masking tape can’t totally fix! It’s cute, it’s a great tool. Def worth the money.

So the yarn guide on mine does not stay up on its own! This worked great on a small skein of yarn but bigger ones were awful! Yarn got snagged in gear under the head and it became loose on top forcing me to unroll it to fix it! Once I held the yarn guide up and kept tension on the yarn it was better but still not great for bigger skeins of yarn!!

I loved this product, it made winding yarn so easy! The metal holder for the yarn is veryyy flimsy and falls very often. Yarn can also very easily get stuck in gears if not super careful.

Good

The yarn thread arm/hook is so flimsy it will not stay up, which causes the yarn to tangle in the gears. Got what I paid for, would not recommend. Lost quite a bit of yarn due to trying to make this item work as advertised.

So much fun, but the wheel came off the gear and it is not winding well

I love this thing and don't know how I lived without it. I have not had any problem with jamming gears or yarn getting caught up. Of course you have to pay attention to what you're doing and any yarn winder can have the yarn go off track, especially if going too fast. I love the balls of yarn. It creates they stay together without unraveling, and just sit on the shelf beautifully. Using the yarn is a joy for the center pull is smooth and compact. The balls of yarn fit perfectly in the yarn bowl. I was recently given as a gift. You can't beat the price on this one and it has worked great for me. I actually clamp it to a wooden lap desk that I do a lot of my work on. Winding yarn should not be under a lot of pressure and so I have had no problem with the clamp holding the winder in place. After rolling a large number of balls, I may have to tighten the dial a little now and then, but that is to be expected and no big deal. I'm glad I ignored some of the other reviews, and took a chance on this product because it has performed very well for me.

It is very cheaply made like a dollar store toy. The threader doesn't stay up at all, and the hook to hold on table edge doesn't keep it stable. I would give it one star only, but the second star is given because if these issues don't exist, the winding is quite good and it does wind the yarn nicely, but can't do a big cake. I've been trying for hours and I'm about to give up and send it back, but I will give it one more chance with some tape probably to stabilize it.
