Lacis Jumbo Yarn Ball Winder

As an newer knitter I've branched out to a greater variety of yarns that don't come in tidy balls but long shanks of yarn. Not knowing how to shop for a yarn winder, my first one was quickly found lacking because it only handled small balls and wound too loosely causing tangles and frustration. This jumbo winder is a dream come true!! It makes nice solid yarn balls(?) with the yarn feeding from the center. It clamps onto the breadboard and is almost like a toy. I've wound yarn that didn't need to be wound just because I can and it is fast too. BUY THIS, YOU WON'T BE SORRY.

So far the only thing I don't like is the price, I've never spent this much on anything for my knitting and crocheting but it was a must have. I previously bought a smaller lacis winder and it worked well on smaller skeins, however for thick yarn and red heart super saver, it didn't cut it. This winder says it can hold up to 10oz but I was able to get a full pound of baby soft yarn with no problems, I'm not sure if it's because of the tension I held the yarn at though. I did find it funny that they give you a full on screwdriver in the box, like people don't have one already but it does make it easy to keep it in the box when not in use. My dining room table has a very very small lip on the edge so the bottom wasn't flush but I put the winder on a thick piece of cardboard and it works perfectly but I think a desk or stool with a flat edge would be best if you have it. All in all I love this winder, I can guarantee if you use it you'll love it too.
