What is a Yarn Winder?
A yarn winder is a machine that you can use wind yarn into center-pull cakes. Most have the same basic pieces - a metal feeding loop, the tube the yarn winds around, a clamp to secure it to the table, and a hand crank to turn it.
Though they can look confusing at first, they are extremely easy to use. Generally speaking, all you need to do is clamp the yarn winder to a sturdy table, and feed the yarn through the metal arm loop. Then, press the yarn end down into the groove on the top of the shaft (I like to double it up to help it stick in the groove better).
Finally, start turning the crank - and watch your beautiful new cake form!
I love winding up leftover skeins - no more tangles appearing on the shelf, and it makes it easier to use them up too. And of course they are a must for hanked yarn, and great for donuts too!
Another popular use for yarn winders is making custom yarn cakes. You can take your favorite colors and yarns and create your very own gradients, rainbows, art yarns and more. Get creative while you do your stashbusting!
What Makes the Yarn Winder by Craft Destiny Special?
The Yarn Winder by Craft Destiny is a lightweight, small ball yarn winder. It can wind up to 4 oz of yarn at a time, and it's ready to go just minutes after taking it out of the box.
There is a metal handle (with a comfortable plastic handpiece) and tabletop clamp that make it stronger than all plastic winders. And they are lined with rubber for a good strong grip on the table - that's important! It will fit tables up to 1 ¾ inch thick, so you can set it up wherever you are.
Craft Destiny also offers a Satisfaction Guarantee: "We will make it go right in case of any issue. You just need to contact us."
I found that the yarn winder had a good strong grip on the table, and smooth winding action. I did get better results by maintaining a smooth, steady speed that wasn't too speedy.
And There's More!
Included with each Craft Destiny Yarn Winder is a special bonus pack of knitting and crochet accessories! A fun bonus!

Thank you for this opportunity to win! I don’t have a yarn winder and I’d absolutely love to have one! I actually was thinking of one the other day when I was untangling a messy yarn ball. Uffda. It was quite the mess! Anyway, thank you again and good luck to everyone!
