Lacis Jumbo Yarn Ball Winder

What I wanted was exactly what you provided. A recycled toilet paper roll was placed over the cone, and small amounts of yarn were wound on it with its back and forth motion, like a spool of thread. I bought another winder previously and ended up winding smaller quantities of yarn on it. But what I really needed was something like this, where the yarn is wound at an angle. It wasn't an electrical winder I could use since some yarn snags way too much to make it practical. So I searched everywhere I could for a good winder. Its price was significantly less than those of other similar products. I wanted something that could handle partial skeins, and this worked well for me and was simpler to use. As a test, this winder wound up to 1 lb of yarn into a nice cake (see photo, I wrapped a plastic bag around the cake to keep outer end contained and wrote the details on it.

Stanwood Needlecraft's Jumbo Yarn Winder has been in use for a couple of years, but after reviewing this one I decided to give it a try. As a result, here is a fair comparison between There are no differences concerning cone size since both have the same size. There are two swing arms on the Lacis, whereas there is only one on the Stanwood. In comparison, the Lacis yarn guide is three pieces of belt and a nut, washer, and bolt while the Standwood's is one piece and attaches via the same bolt, washer, and wingnut along with a rubber ring to prevent scratches. A piece of the Lacis that turns can only be grasped with (usually) 2 fingers. It is small and difficult to handle with one hand. There is a large handle on the Stanwood that can be gripped with your whole hand. The Lacis has a plastic housing that completely encloses the main assembly on the Stanwood, the gearbox is For the Stanwood, there is a welded washer with a diameter of about 2 1/2 inches, while the Lacis has a foot about 1x2 inches. It was not as clean as the one created by the Stanwood, but it was adequate using the Lacis. Although I recognize that there is a significant difference in price between this and the Stanwood, I am still interested in it. If this is something you can afford, it will be of help to you. While I will not be keeping this one, the Stanwood seems a better option to me, I would not discourage you from buying this one.

There was a severe lack of instructions regarding how to wind yarn. I've wound about a dozen balls in a very wide variety of yarns and here are a few tips I've learned. *Provided by 1. Before you slip the yarn on to the spindle, tie a small knot at the end. To pull the inside end of the ball towards the bottom, pull the inside end back towards the inside. ** 2. Make sure you wind your yarn slowly. PURE AND SIMPLE. 3.
The yarn you want to wind should be from your local store A. JoAnn's or Hobby Lobby's), PULL FROM THE CENTRE OF THE SKEIN. B. The fourth point As you wind the yarn onto the spindle, be sure that your yarn isn't too tight. It may be necessary to draw several yards of yarn out loosely, then wind it again. This is *br5. The regular Red Heart makes a messy ball, so there is no use winding it. It is ok to wind small amounts of 3 or 4 oz if it is for a small project. As well, smaller finished balls of yarn are more preferable than huge ones. My spinning project is much better now that I broke up a 250-yard yarn skein into two finished balls. As well as storing them in freezer quart bags, I also freeze the finished balls. It is written on the white tag attached to the bag, and then I keep the skein wrapper inside. The sixth point. You should definitely invest in a Swift table top yarn. think it will make some yarn easier to wind that gets tangled easily easier to wind. As of now, I do not own one, but I plan to buy one soon. I have 7. Depending on what you have in your kitchen, you might want to consider This will be the perfect surface for the ball winder to be used I am 8. You've got time! Take your time! Taking a walk if you're frustrated might be the best course of action. The number nine. You should allow the yarn to flow through your hands before pressing it into The yarn guide has caught some snags before the first yarn is inserted.
10. I request that you do not force the window to open in any way. My understanding is that some winders may have broken so easily! The eleventh point. Due to the fact I had to file off part of the bottom spindle edges to be able to attach it to the base, it doesn't get the full 5 stars. It only took a small fine rasp to complete the task. Due to the fact that it was an easy fix, I decided not to exchange it. The number 12. Lastly, here are a few tips The winding handle may catch on the plastic piece used to attach the winder to a table. When this occurs, pull the handle to release If you are using an out-of-position cutting board, etc. , try moving it until it no longer catches, or find another surface to attach it to. The place I like the most is the place where I pull my hose The original yarn ball I had was in my plastic laundry basket, and I had a cutting board in my kitchen. It doesn't touch the floor when I pull out more than a yard of yarn.

There were no problems with the packaging, and every part and piece were present. With little effort I was able to get a nice looking large yarn cake with almost 1 pound of red heart yarn assembled in less than 30 minutes after opening the package. The Jumbo ball winder is a must for me since I use the same yarn for blankets for most of my projects.

Although I was initially tensed about the swing arms not working properly, once I realized the screws were supposed to go up into the metal plate instead of down into the plastic, the winder worked great, whether I held it in my hand or clamped it In my testing, I wound several cakes of different weights and materials with no problems of yarn catching in the bottom or catching in the bottom. From very fine wool to super chunky acrylic with kitchen cotton in between, it handled them all without issue.
