Oh, my goodness! What a difference! I think my old yarn winder had something broken in it and now that I’ve used the new one, I know the old one just wasn’t right.
The movement is smooth – no jerking and backlashing.
The cake comes off evenly wound and not too loose or too tight.
I should have ordered a new winder a long time ago.
The yarn is wound for my Camp Loopy project, which starts on May 27th. Good thing I checked because in my head, I was thinking the 28th!

I’ve had this brand of ball winder for a couple of years and I love it. Not expensive and it does a great job.Your yarn is gorgeous. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Have fun at Camp!

Mine is wound too – and I am READY!!!!!! I can’t wait for Camp Loopy to begin! It is nice that it happens on Memorial Day Weekend – no work on Monday so it gives me an ENTIRE day to knit!!! 🙂

Glad you like it! When I buy yarn at the yarn shop they always offer to wind it for me. I say “No Way!” I love winding my own yarn.

I was thinking of joining in this year, but will hav to wait another year. I am going to get that yarn winder tho, have yarn here that needs to be wound.

I may have to take up knitting more seriously just so I can wind my own. That looks so nice and neat and ready to use! Have fun at Camp and hope your Memorial Day weekend is peaceful and you have time to do a lot of knitting.

Should I call you at 12:01 a.m.on the 28th to make sure you are casting on your Camp Loopy project??? LOL

Okay – so I was so confused and would have called you a day late (hmmm perhaps I wanted a head start?) 😉
