Description

Wind skeins into neat, coreless balls by yourself. Clamp this hand-crank winder to your table, turn the handle and start your project without the tangle.

Wind skeins into neat, coreless yarn balls quickly by hand with a clamp-on winder

Solves
  • tangled hand-wound yarn
  • slow manual ball winding
  • yarn that needs two people to hold a skein
  • uneven or hard-to-use balls

Wind skeins into neat balls, without a helper

Tired of holding a skein while you wind it by hand, only to get a lumpy ball that snags? Clamp this winder to your table, turn the crank, and get a tidy, coreless ball ready for your next project.

Everything a skein needs, in one small winder

  • Clamp it, walk away

    The integral clamp opens up to 1.4 in and locks with a red knob, so the winder stays put while you work. Both hands stay free for the yarn.

  • Turn once, wind evenly

    The geared base and red-grip handle turn the spindle smoothly. You build an even, coreless ball instead of a lumpy one.

  • Guide it, don't chase it

    The spring-steel yarn guide keeps the strand in line, and the slot on the spindle top holds the start of the yarn. The spindle also has a loose/tight setting.

From skein to ball in a few turns

  1. 1
    Seat the spindle

    Align the notches on the spindle with the geared base and turn clockwise to secure.

  2. 2
    Clamp to the table

    Fit the clamp on the table edge (up to 1.4 in) and turn the red knob until tight.

  3. 3
    Lock the guide

    Rotate the yarn guide upward and pull it out to lock it in working position.

  4. 4
    Feed the yarn

    Pass the yarn through the guide and secure it in the spindle notch. Support the skein on a swift.

  5. 5
    Turn and lift off

    Turn the handle clockwise to wind. Withdraw the finished ball from the underside.

Questions and answers

Does the clamp fit my table edge?
w
Wanelo · seller

The clamp opens up to 1.4 in and tightens with the red knob, no tools needed. Measure your table edge first. A very thick edge will not fit.

Will it wobble or slip while I wind?
w
Wanelo · seller

Tightened properly, the clamp holds the winder in place while you turn. Seat the spindle by aligning the notches and turning clockwise, then lock the yarn guide in its working position.

How is this different from winding by hand over a chair?
w
Wanelo · seller

Hand-winding needs a helper or a chair back and tends to give loose, lumpy balls. Here the crank does the turning and the guide holds the line, so you wind alone and get a tidier ball.

Is the spindle compatible with any skein size?
w
Wanelo · seller

You support the skein on a swift, and the winder pulls from it. Check your swift holds the skein freely so it unrolls as you turn.

Can I use it for crochet yarn too?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. It winds knitting and crochet yarn into coreless balls the same way.

Is it worth it over just winding by hand?
w
Wanelo · seller

If you buy skeins regularly, it replaces the helper and the time spent untangling. One small tool, used on every skein you wind, spreads its cost thin.
