    Excellent in every way

    Posted by Lisa Babikian on 21st Jan 2023

    This is impeccably engineered. After using a plastic ball winder for 10 years, I requested an upgrade for the holidays. I went the usual route and asked for the Knitters Pride wooden ball winder. I received that one for the holidays. After winding just two skeins into balls the screws holding it came loose, and as they are wood screws into plastic they would not hold tightly. This results in tangled cakes- which in the reviews many say they think they need more practice. Nope it’s the faulty engineering. I sent that back, and found this option. It spins fluidly and is so stable you don’t even have to clamp it down. Looking at the assembly in person it’s clear it will last and it’s self serviceable. Clearly a professionally designed and built item. And beautiful in its own simplistic way. I recommend to all.

    Don't hesitate to purchase!

    After fighting with my plastic winder and tangled cakes for three years, I finally decided to upgrade. Y'all, this piece is SOLID. The sheer weight of the piece and the ball bearings make winding smooth and quiet. No more plastic squeaking! I am under 30 and confident this winder is going to last the rest of my life. Now I can spend more time knitting knowing that my much-loved yarn has been handled well. Thank you, Fiber Artist Supply Co.!

    This ball winder is fantastic--quiet and smooth and it winds perfect yarn cakes. After years of struggling with the plastic ball winders, I'm kicking myself for not getting one of these sooner. No need to clamp it to the table because it is so well designed that it doesn't rock or vibrate. The workmanship is superb. Well worth the cost.

    Wow! I just got this for my birthday - it is amazing! it is beautifully made, very quiet, and winds smooth and even cakes. As a test I would a full 10 oz skein of LB Ice Cream Big Scoop into a gigantic cake - it worked perfectly. I highly recommend this winder. It is the only one you will ever need.

    Just perfect!

    Posted by Joanne on 3rd Mar 2021

    I needed a yarn winder that would be sturdy enough to work well without clamping it to my table, and this Jumbo Yarn Ball Winder fit the bill perfectly. I had it assembled and wound two large cakes just minutes after taking it from the well-packaged box it arrived in. It is whisper-quiet and does exactly what I wanted it to. I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

    I ordered less than 1 week ago and it arrived to Canada today. This is my 3rd ball winder and yours is the best quality....BY FAR! We appreciated the detailed instructions. The yarn wound perfectly into tight, compact cakes. I’m so pleased with your product and service. Thank you. Theresa

    Posted by Renee on 25th Dec 2020

    I absolutely love this yarn ball winder! The first yarn I wound on Christmas morning is a perfect yarn cake. It’s very quiet, super smooth and works perfectly. I didn’t even use the clamp, I set it on the table and wound a perfect cake. I 100% recommend it, worth every dollar.
