How to use yarn winder Videos

+locladie I am so pleased I could help, I do love my yarn winder. :)

+Jack Choy I got mine on ebay :)

+Patricia Tubb Totally addicted to mine, I went through my stash of oddments of yarn the other weekend.. I think I made about 50+, some for ebay and the rest shipped off to a charity who make blankets.. I think I've wound a super chunky on mine, with no problems,. happy winding! :) Thanks for watching

I hope by now you have solved your problems. It takes a little time to line up the yarn in the slit on the top of the white winder and it doesn't take heavy yarn. I tried that and finished it by hand. I know the metal part is annoying as it keeps falling down but it takes a little time to learn how to use it. I put my thumb on the bottom of the metal stand, hold my thumb against it for tension and start cranking. Also do it slowly. Still love my ball winder and looking for another excuse to wind some yarn lol

+Sandra Lowe oh no, that is a shame you really have to pull hard on the metal arm to pull it out ward to make it stay out to keep the tension.  You also have to hold the yarn and pull it fairly tightly, not so much that you stretch the yarn either.  If you wind it too slowly it will sag down.  I hope you get the knack of it :)

well it arrived and I am having the same problem as 24 carat in that the yarn holder keeps moving and catches on the spool part Ihave pulled it right out but it won't stay there.  My wool balls are too loose and fall apart, it doesn't look anything like your  wound ball of wool :-( 

+rebecca sabet Lol

+adam twelve I'm not sure...this is the only one I have tried.

+Collette Newman You definitely have to keep an eye on the yarn as it's being wound, like I did.

+Theresa Gantt No, I've Never Tried that

+Daniel Lamb Thank you so much for watching my video and You're Welcome Daniel...I'm glad you found this video Helpful, The Yarn Winder is Definitely A Yarn Storage Space Saver. Since filming this...I now roll up the yarn label and stick in the center of the yarn cake, and I do not use the Center Pull Method of the yarn cake...I use the yarn from the outside of the cake, because when using the Center Pull it tends to Implode as the cake gets smaller. Using the outside yarn works perfect...it just becomes a smaller yarn cake but stay standing nicely.

Yes I know. I just couldn't see what make the bag was. But after some searching I've found a storage bag now!

+Specialcorners Connie You can do an online search

Okay, never mind, I just figured out that you must turn the handle clockwise, this helped keep it secure, it does work, but needs to be watched carefully or it can tangle up underneath!

+susan white Yes, and it is a Space Saver too ; )

You are very welcome! Welcome to the world of crochet! :-)

+SpeLinneaMy pleasure! :-)

+Yarn Obsession Thank you so much!

:-D Good question. It will stretch natural fibers more than synthetics so if you have cotton, wool, silk or bamboo I would recommend winding then right before use. Acrylics don't stretch out of shape as much so they are fine to wind if you'd like. :)

do you have to use a swift? can you just guide it from a skein?

i want to get one...:D

where I can buy this tool ??

+Ingrid LeeIt's still the same I'm using Firefox, It's a browser glitch. I just tried it in IE browser and it works fine. My daughter and I are making Bobbin Lace Bookworms at the moment, I'll post them to //veeness-veeness.blogspot.com.au so you can see them. We thought we would make 100...but after 10...he'eh we will see how we go.

That's strange...I just checked the link on 2 browsers and it looks fine, try it as this link //ingridcreates.com/10-top-tips-about-embroidery-floss-and-threads/ You will only get to red a portion of the post, unless you sign in as a free member, but I don't think that's the issue there.I'm glad you like my work...I love bobbin lace too, but never tried it- Yet! 

Hiya Ingrid, thankyou)) I visited your site, just wondering why it has a huge space at the top with nothing there until you scroll down almost a page? I'll bookmark you for later reference the silk embroidery is gorgeous. I'm playing with Bobbin lace at the moment once again...but my thread affair is pulling at my heart strings
