A yarn winder is so great!! I have a small yarn winder and I use a cardboard tube from the center of a toilet tissue roll. Then place it over the spindle of the winder. So you are winding the yarn on the tube. You pull off the tube along with your yarn. I think when you use a larger winder you can slide the cardboard tube from a paper towel roll. I find this makes the roll of yard sturdy for storage.
@@JaydaInStitches I put a slit in the tube and slide the center end down it so I can always find the center pull. Plus I write the hook size and weight of the yarn on the cardboard tube so I don't have to guess.
Your delight is the universal response for everyone when they first get a yarn winder! LOL When I got my first winder, I was like a kid in a candy shop! Winding anything I could get my hands on. LOL I actually have two of these mega wool winders: one multi colored like yours and one in the natural wood color. I got mine at such incredible deals, which is why I have two. My husband was so impressed with the workmanship when I brought it home. He spent twenty minutes examining and admiring it. LOL A note: you want to tension the yarn, ever so slightly, by running it through your left hand before it goes through the feeder loop. That will make it wind tighter (not such a bouncy cake like you had) but that also means you can wind a larger skein and it means the cake will hold together much better. Too loose means the cake won't hold up as well. Also, if you hold the yarn up, slightly above the feeder loop, it'll sit the cake lower on the spool so it won't pop off the top. Also, I highly recommend actually clamping it to the table. That will stabilize it more which will give you a more consistent wind. I know these winders are more pricey but they are SO worth it! Incredible. They will last for years and years! I can't highly recommend it enough to anyone who wants the only winder they will ever need.
My husband bought me a winder last Christmas. I absolute love it! My yarn stores on and in shelving so very nicely! My husband and I wind my yarn together....its our "new excitement " lol Im in awe with every skein my husband diligently untangles and winds into a cake! 😉😉🤣 we have a fun time winding yarn together ❤ Enjoy Jayda and Mr. Institches!
I got one not as fancy from Amazon a few months ago and I love it! Now I use it for all of my non cake skeins and make them into cakes with the winder. I find the yarn comes out more smoothly when working it and with far less tangling issues. Especially for the Caron one pound skeins which I always had issues with in the past.
Happy Be-lated Birthday!!! Enjoy your lovely ball winder! It is a awesome and very much needed tool. I purchased the Heavy Duty Ball Winder from Nancy's Knit Knacks many years ago and I love it very much. I also own the Royal ball winder (which is no longer manufactured that I know of) and I love and use it for travel. BJ
Hi Jayda, I thank you for sharing your beautiful gift from your sweet Mr. in stitches. Now I need to throw hints to my sweet hubby. I have been looking to see what winder I want. I really like this one you got it looks easy enough to work with. Thanks again Jayda
Thank you so much for showing us your Birthday gift. The man in my life asked me what I wanted for my birthday it was a coin toss between a furls hook or this beautiful winder. The winder won... now I'm just waiting for it to show up in the mail.
@@JaydaInStitches I love it for blanket yarn. It turns them into guaranteed center pulls and if I'm carefull the whole 10 oz skien ends up on it. Have to go slow with that one.
I got a Stanwood winder from my family for my birthday a couple of years ago. It's not as big or fancy as this but I love it. I get lots of partial skeins from thrift stores etc. And this works great to make them easy to work with.
Seeing ur excitement was wonderful. When I got my ball winder. I was up at night winding up any and every ball. For projects I was going to do. Lol e joy. Thay are worth it. A must have for crafters.
Your video is so much fun, Jayda! I love the yarn winder so much that I think I'll start dropping hints for my birthday too! Enjoy every minute you spend with yours and thanks for the great video!🥰
Hi Jayda. Thanks so much for this video. I wondered how that winder work. I really enjoyed watching the video. I'm so glad you have an outstanding husband to buy you things like that and I'm glad your willing to make a tutorial video on something i believe is so neat. Thanks again for all you do and God bless you both. Enjoy...looking forward to more learning videos...o yeah I love those beads you had around your neck...well everything you were is so cute on you. Well thanks again and have a wonderful day.
I just bought myself one of these as a “self care” gift to myself. I am awaiting its delivery and I can’t wait!! Thank you for your very helpful video and I will comment again when i finally receive and use it…
So glad you got a yarn winder! I have one myself, a tad different though, but still same results. I didn't think I needed one until I tried it the first time......now I don't know how I lived without it! Have a great weekend!
Yarn winders are the best! I just got one for my birthday as well and it has really helped keep my leftover yarn together when I use a lot of a certain color.
I just got myself a small yarn winder. The 3rd roll I did was a dark color and I had trouble finding the inside end. My son suggested I tie a contrasting color on the end before I start winding, so I did that and it does make things easier. I've read the other suggestions too and have written them down so I can remember to incorporate them as they will make everything SO much easier.
The one I have is small and doesn't have a band that has to be removed. Mine I got on Amazon for around $15.00 and made of plastic. The advantage of using a winder is like you said it doesn't stretch your yarn but it also doesn't crush your yarn like when you roll in a ball of yarn crushing the center. They are stackable and if you tuck in the outside end, they doesn't unravel as easy as a ball of yarn does.
Too cool! I have a smaller one, and love it. But yours is the size I had been looking for. Fabulous! And yes they are so therapeutic. Empty toilet paper rolls are great to put on the winder first, and wrap the yarn around them. They add extra stability especially for smaller cakes.
That’s a lovely gift. So colorful and useful! 💕 I have a ball winder but I haven’t used it in years. I wind my cakes by hand, and my kids think the center pull yarn sticking up is a candle in the cake! 🎂
A quick tip: if you hold the yarn strand while you're winding (hold it next to the metal yarn feeder), it winds tighter with less chance of coming undone/falling over on the shelf.
If you have a Joann's and Michael's near you do this... they take each others coupons... get s coupon from each one and they will apply it to the same item. So, if you have a 40%off from Joann's and 20 or 30% off from Michaels you pay pennies. Sometimes they have 50 and 60%off coupons. Give it a try!
Awesome birthday gift from your husband. I am sure it will get a lot of use. I wish someone would surprise me with something like that. Have a great day. Rosanna
Jayda this yarn winder is just beautiful , good job Mr in stitches . I thought I'd mention a couple of things I do with my yarn cakes after winding . I roll up my labels and place them in the middle of my cakes , that way I always know all the info about my cake . I also use a hair clip or Bobby pin to fasten my outside tail to the cake so my cake is more secured. Enjoy your winder , but also know it can be addicting lol
I second both these suggestions. Bobby pins are really useful for this; they're cheap, they're ubiquitous, and they work. I also use them for stitch markers, too.
Happy Belated birthday Jayda. I've been quite busy this summer n falling behind on my favorite shows. My birthday was the 7th. My hubby bought me new cakes of yarn in bright colors. Love getting yarn. Can never have too much I ususally say but I however have so much yarn..lol
You'll be able to make your own caron cakes from leftover yarn Jayda. It would be an interesting challenge to try and make one of these. Hardware store, here I come.
I have a wool winder (not that one). I find it helpful to tie a contrasting piece of yarn to the yarn you put in the slot, as I have lost that end in the ball, and that little contrasting bit helps me find it. (If like me, you prefer to pull from the middle). Have a peaceful day.😊.
Hi Jayda, I have a small ball winder that is nice but I could use a big one for the larger skiens. After seeing your demonstration now I really need to get a larger one. Thanks you for your time on this demonstration. I will be putting this on my upcoming Christmas list.
Miss Institched, thank-you for overdosing on the caffeine this morning, it's nice to see you so "perky"! Keep up the great product/project demonstrations. My problem is the double crochet stitch. I'm la lefty and I crochet backwards (left to right) and in my 50 + years of crocheting, I've ALWAYS gotten the "pruney" contorted face expression from people when I ask them to show me how to do it correctly. It causes me to feel like I was made from all defective parts from the unmarked "junk box". I've stopped asking for help long ago, and, on 50+ years of crocheting, I still can only do the chain and single stitches. I forgot to mention that I'm a guy. 57 years old, and, have been homeless for about 30 years due to getting thrown out with the trash by family, schools, churches and jobs. If you could help me with this matter, that would be great, and, if not-no problem. Doug
Hi Douglas, being a lefty means that you need to sit and watch someone else crochet opposite to them, not sit beside them 😊 You're just working in the mirror image to someone who is right handed. We have a really handy hack on how to use right-handed tutorials if you're left handed here: th-cam.com/video/6ExUDadbkzc/w-d-xo.html
my mum had a yarn winder 40 yrs ago..I still have it and its not that big!. still works the same though.. Im surprized you havent seen the small versions of that Jayda? they're great too but more compact ..Good job on mr stitches for thinking of his lovely wife though.. have fun winding
It is so much fun to watch you get a kick out of such a nifty gadget! I have a yarn winder and I love it. Most of the yarn I buy comes in skeins and I HATE SKEINS ! Oh, I've heard all the excuses for selling yarn in skeins but it boils down to laziness on the maker's part. I bought (expensive ! ) yarn in Ireland as a a souvenir and I'm so mad at it now from wrestling it out of the stupid skein and winding it into a ball that I may never touch it again.
Finally! You have a ball winder I'm so happy for you. I got one about in march and I'm absolutely in love with it. It is from knit picks. I have been searching for this video if yours and now I found it. Btw I'm 11 years and i also crochet. I do all sorts of things Crochet Knit Cross stitch Sewing Embordery
That’s awesome Jayda you will love it I love mine you can make your own yarn with it especially the multicolored yarn that you always buy which kind of makes it a lot more cheaper than buying them at the store
I just wanted to mention that if you are winding a cake of yarn from a frogged project and it's all wiggly and wonky (like it gets after being crocheted or knitted into a project) you can add tension by guiding the yarn with your hand before it enters the metal eye so that you can get a little tighter wound cake to straighten out the wiggly frogged yarn. Then when you go to use the yarn cake later your yarn comes out much straighter and easier to work with. I love your signature version of the wool winder. The colors are so beautiful!
Another tip for storing or displaying your handy work take it or leave it. A nice board with small holes drilled into it, glue dowell rods or pins into holes. You can stack multiple balls.
Sweet!!! I'm so happy for you...that is so cool. My daughter gave me a bunch of yarn she had spun up...they stack so Pretty☺ thank you for sharing Jayda...have fun and be blessed🌻
This would be so handy for me with doing so many smaller projects. I wonder though if you could get some sort of cap disc to put over top of the spool to keep the yarn a little neater at the top. Would make it easier to put some sort of wrapper on the yarn too before you take it off the spool. Love your videos.
HI Kelsey, i find if you add a little tension to the yarn as you're winding, it helps make it a bit neater (and a firmer cake) and you can roll up your labels and store them inside for added strength from within.
Mr. In Stitches, you did very well!🤗🤗. Thanks for the demonstration Jayda! I think this calls for the purchase of a few hanks, lol! No Swift? No problem! Have Mr. In Stitches hold the yarn! 😂😂. I have an Amish Swift because my tables are so thick! I have an electric ball winder but I’m looking for a manual one as well. This may just be the one! Thanks for sharing!
Finally! The video we have been waiting for.Happy birthday Jayda! Yes, it is so mesmerizing, very much like a SpiroGraph. I loved that thing as a kid. I loved it so much I even programmed a simple PC version of SpiroGraph myself years later, as an exercise in programming with Delphi.
A yarn winder is so great!! I have a small yarn winder and I use a cardboard tube from the center of a toilet tissue roll. Then place it over the spindle of the winder. So you are winding the yarn on the tube. You pull off the tube along with your yarn. I think when you use a larger winder you can slide the cardboard tube from a paper towel roll.

@@JaydaInStitches I put a slit in the tube and slide the center end down it so I can always find the center pull. Plus I write the hook size and weight of the yarn on the cardboard tube so I don't have to guess.
You are ADORKABLE!!! Good job Mr. Institches!!!

That would be me! Giggling and be all excited! I want one!
Your happiness is adorable ! That smile is the best thank you to Mr. Instiches.
That looks so satisfying and therapeutic! Much better than winding them by hand!
OMG!! That is such a lovely gift!! Thank you for sharing with us!!!
Mr in stitches has earned a big hug with this one

Cute ball winder. Way to go Mr Institches!
Happy belated birthday! It is so cool that you call your husband "Mr. stitches", it shows how you love, respect and complete one another!!!

It really is! It's sort of a zen activity too!
Lovely gift! Happy Birthday Jayda! Blessings!!!!! 💜💜
Thank you Susan!
That is a nice yarn winder. I have never seen a large winder, makes it nice to wind big skeins
Mr. Stitches did good giving you this wonderful gift. Can't wait for you to make him his socks with the sock yarn.
This is a great yarn ball winder unboxing and demonstration.
So glad you got a yarn winder! I have one myself, a tad different though, but still same results. I didn't think I needed one until I tried it the first time......now I don't know how I lived without it! Have a great weekend!
I find it really enjoyable to wind the yarn, and the neat little cakes are so much better for storage!

Wow... That's fabulous. Love that the hole in the middle is big enough that you could roll up lable and put there to ID it.
My mother in law does that, and I've started doing that too! It gives the centre of the skein some strength too!
The one I have is small and doesn't have a band that has to be removed. Mine I got on Amazon for around $15.00 and made of plastic.

They are stackable and if you tuck in the outside end, they doesn't unravel as easy as a ball of yarn does.
I've taken to wrapping the outside end around a few strands of yarn and it seems to stay in place :)
What a great birthday present! Love the yarn color as well!
Glad your so happy. And the winder is awesome.😉
Too cool! I have a smaller one, and love it. But yours is the size I had been looking for. Fabulous! And yes they are so therapeutic.

A quick tip: if you hold the yarn strand while you're winding (hold it next to the metal yarn feeder), it winds tighter with less chance of coming undone/falling over on the shelf.
I second this.
I third this
Great suggestion Carrie :)
Wow love the wool winder..👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I've wanted a yarn bowl & yarn winder, but, on a fixed income that will be impossible. Happy for you, Jayda. I will be enjoying watching you use it.
If you have a Joann's and Michael's near you do this... they take each others coupons... get s coupon from each one and they will apply it to the same item. So, if you have a 40%off from Joann's and 20 or 30% off from Michaels you pay pennies. Sometimes they have 50 and 60%off coupons. Give it a try!
Rose Genelle Thanks for sharing this info, so nice of you and good to know! I will definitely try it!
Very cool! Doesn't take much to make us crocheters happy! Thanks for the demo!
looks great. Have a great a great day and God bless you and your family
I just got mine in today!! Rewatching this video before I get to playing with it! Bought it because of this review.❤❤❤
Have fun! I love mine, I use it constantly!
Love you BIG ball winder! I've had mine for a couple of years. It really helps when the inside pull from a skein gets tangled and needs to be rewound.
Awesome birthday gift from your husband. I am sure it will get a lot of use. I wish someone would surprise me with something like that.
Have a great day.
Rosanna
Hi jayda congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Jayda this yarn winder is just beautiful , good job Mr in stitches .
I thought I'd mention a couple of things I do with my yarn cakes after winding . I roll up my labels and place them in the middle of my cakes , that way I always know all the info about my cake . I also use a hair clip or Bobby pin to fasten my outside tail to the cake so my cake is more secured.
Enjoy your winder , but also know it can be addicting lol
I second both these suggestions. Bobby pins are really useful for this; they're cheap, they're ubiquitous, and they work. I also use them for stitch markers, too.
Great suggestions Jackie!
Now that is a major winder!
Great job , and great gift mr in stitches , he's a keeper jayda 😊Amanda xx
He certainly is! :)
Yay...thats really neat, I was thinking you could wind different colors, but you would have knots in your yarn.
Hi Dawn, the eye of the yarn threader is really big, so knots will pass through it without any trouble :)
Happy Belated birthday Jayda. I've been quite busy this summer n falling behind on my favorite shows. My birthday was the 7th. My hubby bought me new cakes of yarn in bright colors. Love getting yarn. Can never have too much I ususally say but I however have so much yarn..lol
Hi Lisa, Happy Birthday! Your hubby sounds like a keeper too :)
You'll be able to make your own caron cakes from leftover yarn Jayda. It would be an interesting challenge to try and make one of these. Hardware store, here I come.
I think making one of these would be a lot of fun! But then I love to try and build things myself * giggle *
I love it! Great job Mr. Institches on gift choice!
Happy Birthday !! Or belated birthday ... that's a wonderful gift that ur husband bought u awesome have fun
Thank you Patsy :)
Yup.nice holding yarn when winding to tighten cake up so it is not to loose for storage/shelving and once you remove it from cone yarn will relax.
I have a small one, but now I want a big one. Lol
Thank you for sharing!
You are so giddy. Thumbs up to Mr. Stitches
Happy Birthday, Jayda. Wish You All The Best. 😃
Thank you Tika :)

HI Marion, that's an excellent idea!
I have a cheap one from Amazon that I've had for three years. I love caking skeins because they require less space to store. That's a nice one!
I love that winder! As I am getting older the arthritis in my hands gets worse. Thus would help so much.
Hi Patty! I find it's very smooth and easy to operate, a nice bit of relief for my fingers :)
Oh happy day! 🌞
Hi Jayda, I have a small ball winder that is nice but I could use a big one for the larger skiens. After seeing your demonstration now I really need to get a larger one. Thanks you for your time on this demonstration. I will be putting this on my upcoming Christmas list.
Happy Birthday Jayda hope it was an amazing day.
Thank you Haylee :)
You’re Welcome Jayda thank you for all that you do for us.

That looks like so much fun!!

Happy belated birthday! Love this, will have to look into getting one. Love to keep my yarn neat.
That just looks like so much fun...it would keep my busy for days lol
I love the yarn spinner! I also like how the doohickey on the right turns very fastly the doodad on the the left.
* giggle * there are a lot of doohickeys on this thing and they all run very smoothly!
I can feel my whole life is getting better!! 😂 🙏🧵🧶
It is so much fun to watch you get a kick out of such a nifty gadget! I have a yarn winder and I love it. Most of the yarn I buy comes in skeins and I HATE SKEINS !

I do all sorts of things

Hi Edaakie, Thank you for watching!
Happy Birthday! Great present, you can also customize your own versions of the Caron cakes or Bernat pops.
That’s awesome Jayda you will love it I love mine you can make your own yarn with it especially the multicolored yarn that you always buy which kind of makes it a lot more cheaper than buying them at the store
Hi Jane, I'm looking forward to making up a few of my own "Magic Balls"! Especially for all those really tiny scraps of yarn!
Happy birthday,we love you so much 😘😘😘😘🌹❤️💞💞💝❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌻🌹🌻😍😘
Am I the only one that thinks this is super satisfying?!
I could literally watch yarn wind all day LOL!
I just wanted to mention that if you are winding a cake of yarn from a frogged project and it's all wiggly and wonky (like it gets after being crocheted or knitted into a project) you can add tension by guiding the yarn with your hand before it enters the metal eye so that you can get a little tighter wound cake to straighten out the wiggly frogged yarn.

Happy Birthday‼❤🧡💛💚💙💜 Mine was yesterday😎
Lol what a cute informative video. You always make me smile.
I LOVE YOUR DEMOSTRATION.
Thank you Gail :)
Ooo! I want one! That is so neat! Thanks for sharing! Yes!... what fun!
I love the fact that u can make your own cakes 🤗
Oh my gosh! That is sooo nifty! Deffinately on my want list!
Another tip for storing or displaying your handy work take it or leave it. A nice board with small holes drilled into it, glue dowell rods or pins into holes. You can stack multiple balls.
Like a peg board that you would store tools on? I love it!
Hi Jayda You will love this I have a different on. Ilove mine enjoy it
Sweet!!! I'm so happy for you...that is so cool. My daughter gave me a bunch of yarn she had spun up...they stack so Pretty☺ thank you for sharing Jayda...have fun and be blessed🌻
This would be so handy for me with doing so many smaller projects.
I wonder though if you could get some sort of cap disc to put over top of the spool to keep the yarn a little neater at the top. Would make it easier to put some sort of wrapper on the yarn too before you take it off the spool.
Love your videos.
HI Kelsey, i find if you add a little tension to the yarn as you're winding, it helps make it a bit neater (and a firmer cake) and you can roll up your labels and store them inside for added strength from within.
That is awesome! I too like a center pull.
Its absolutely beautiful. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for and wanting!!! Enjoy it!!
Your winder is so much cooler than mine, love it and thanks for sharing 😊
Great timing...I'm looking for a yarn wonder.
Mr. In Stitches, you did very well!🤗🤗. Thanks for the demonstration Jayda! I think this calls for the purchase of a few hanks, lol! No Swift? No problem! Have Mr. In Stitches hold the yarn! 😂😂. I have an Amish Swift because my tables are so thick! I have an electric ball winder but I’m looking for a manual one as well. This may just be the one! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Thea, I'm thinking of having Mr. InStitches make me a swift! He likes to tinker so I think he'd enjoy the challenge :)
Great idea Jayda! I’m sure he’d make a great one!🤗🤗
I love to watch you video especially when I need a pick me up thank you for all your laughs
Finally! The video we have been waiting for.Happy birthday Jayda!
Yes, it is so mesmerizing, very much like a SpiroGraph. I loved that thing as a kid. I loved it so much I even programmed a simple PC version of SpiroGraph myself years later, as an exercise in programming with Delphi.
