BRAND NEW WOOL WINDER MACHINE

THIS ITEM IS BRAND NEW IN BOX

They are very useful for spinners who need to wind their hand spun yarn into a neat ball or for anyone who has hand dyed yarn and needs to get it back into a neat ball shape rather than by winding it round their hands.

The shape of the ball created is flat and almost cylindrical. This means you can work straight from the centre of the ball very easily and even knit straight onto a knitting machine as the tension is so even.

The winder is made of sturdy plastic and is easily clamped onto a table or worktop. Depending on the texture you can probably wind about 200g of yarn onto a ball.

I often recycle hand knitted garments. If I spot a good wool hand knit at a thrift shop I buy it and unpick it for the wool. These ball winders are great to wind the wool for you.

I got all my scrap wool together and made up new balls mixing yarns together so that they are the same weight. This means that they will crochet or knit up evenly as your gauge is not constantly changing because the yarn is of different thickness. It’s also fun as you can turn a boring yarn into something that is interesting very quickly.
