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.

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.

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 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.

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

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!

@kellydrummer3285

I have found with my yarn winder that if you hold a little tension on the feeding yarn, the 'cake' you are winding will hold up better and not be so loose. Also, the yarn label or a toilet paper roll can me rolled and inserted in the middle of your 'new' cake. i usually secure the outside end of the yarn with a piece of tape so it does not unwind. i have two winders that are smaller than yours so i am limited in the size of the new skeins i can make. I got a great deal on one of them. i love the size of yours, it looks like you can make a pretty nice sized cake. Good luck with it jayda! mr. institches needs a high five on a good gift!
