Adhafera Yarn Winder, Wool Winder for Crocheting, Simple Installation Yarn Ball Winder，The Helper for Wool Collection Lovers

Easy to use and does a fine job

I finally decided to take the plunge and get a ball winder and swift and I'm so glad I did! It could take me close to an hour to wind a skein of sock yarn by hand by myself, slightly less if someone is holding the yarn for me, but with this ball winder I did 13 skeins of yarn in the same time it would have taken me to do one! They were made up of worsted weight as well as fingering weight yarn and the winder worked equally well for both types. Winding balls this way was life changing from doing it manually. I'm very happy to have finally made the transition. The ball winder came with instructions but I found it intuitive enough that I didn't need to read them. The trick would be to leave yourself a long enough tail when you first anchor the yarn to the winder. I left too short a tail on one of my balls and the whole ball ending up popping off the top of the swift about 2/3 in, so I had to wind the rest by hand. Keeping an even speed when winding also means you will get more consistently sized balls. It was simple enough that my seven year old was able to turn the crank for a few skeins until she got bored. I would recommend protecting the surface of the table where you attach the clamp if you have a finished/varnished surface as I could see it marring the top. I used a piece of cardboard on top of the table and clamped the winder over top of it and it worked very well.

Works well, easy to use, clamps on to Table well, feels secure in use, I managed to wind approximately 260gm of DK yarn, yarn cakes are easier to work with and store, very happy customer.

J'ai fait environ 50 pelotes avec et c'est vraiment génial mais par contre ne pas aller trop vite autrement la pelote vole

Der hat mir noch gefehlt, endlich kann ich schöne Knäuel wickeln. Ein 100g Strang Sockenwolle ist jedoch das Maximum. Muss einem nur bewußt sein.Leider quietscht das Teil etwas, sonst ist aber nichts zu bemängeln.
