Let Them Make Cakes!
If you are new to yarn, you might only be familiar with the ball style or “put up” that you see in the big box stores. But as you venture into new yarns and local yarn stores, you’ll encounter hanks – yarn that is wound up like this:
This is the put up you’ll find higher-end yarns in, particularly hand-dyed yarn. And before you can knit or crochet with a yarn like this, you’ll need to wind it up into a ball – or a cake. And you can make your own cakes with a Yarn Ball Winder!
First, you carefully open up the yarn so that it’s one big loop. Then, with the help of a yarn swift, another person, or the back of a dining room chair, you lay out this loop very carefully, and cut off any of the strings holding it together. After you find the ends, it’s time to start winding it up on a Yarn Ball Winder!
Perfectly Sized for Small to Medium Hanks and Skeins
This Yarn Ball Winder is sized to hold up to 100 grams or 3.5 ounces. With this tool, you can quickly turn hanks into center-pull cakes that sit nice and flat while you stitch!
There are lots of yarn winders out there, of course, but there are some things that make this one a standout:
- This yarn winder is itself quite lightweight, and its small size makes it easier to store when not in use – or take with you on your next yarn shop hop
- The gears are fully enclosed – no getting your precious yarns tangled up inside the mechanism
- The simplified design makes it easy for beginners to get started
- It comes in 6 different colors – I’ve never seen this before!
- Compact size and sturdy, attractive box make this a great gift option
Even if you don’t use hanked yarn, a yarn winder is a great tool to have in your crafty toolbox. You can take those half-used skeins and cakes and turn them into new, compact balls that are easier to use. You can also create your own custom colorways – put together your odds and ends and wind them up into something new!
A yarn winder is one of those tools that you don’t *need* but it will make your yarny life a whole lot easier, and possibly more fun! CLICK HERE to purchase your own today!
I’ll be embedding a video of my putting this yarn winder together and using it *right here* – stay tuned!
