    Just a tip...that bottom arm is supposed to go UNDER the nut, not over, and BEHIND the Philips screw. It keeps it from moving to the side as you work.

      Correction, under the washer.

      Under the washer, below the butterfly nut.

    Thank you so much! I wanted to see what these machines do before buying because I like my yarn in a ball not skein and could not imagine these making a ball even though people keep calling them “yarn baller machines” and your video is straight to the point and showed exactly what I needed to know, it is more of a “cake” than a ball. Great video, happy crafting!

    A video on trouble shooting would be great. Mine is similar to yours but I have issues with wind the tension is off it gets in the gears or I end up having to re make the same ball of yarn over and over because the tension is to loose and they fall aprt

    • @sherrypelkey2453
      @sherrypelkey2453 25 дней назад +1

      If you run the yarn through your fingers between the skein and post it will give you a consistent tension.

    @marciesmith4974 2 года назад +9

    Should you use the yarn from the outside in or the inside out?

    • @BURNTPAPAYA777
      @BURNTPAPAYA777 Год назад +2

      it’s more of a preference if i’m being honest; if used from the inside, it can collapse inwards which risks tangling, whereas if used from the outside, it can roll around and unravel if not secured. my grandmother taught me to use it from the outside so that’s just what i grew up with, but it’s best to use trial and error to find your preference.

      I'm a little late to the party, but an inexpensive yarn bowl is great for these! Just make sure you check bowl size before you buy. Happy Stitchcraft!

    Once you have used the ball winder, are you able to pull directly from the center.

    I just got mine today, but the skein I wound didn't have a center pull. It's Big Twist Soft. It's a wonderful machine, but I had to unwind a section from the skein, then wind/cake on the winder, stop, and repeat. It took a very long time and it was frustrating. But, the cake wound perfectly on the winder. Great tension, an I'm thrilled with the end result. But I can't find any info or suggestions to help with skeins without a center pull. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks for the great video. 🙂

    • @Yarndrasil
      @Yarndrasil  Год назад

      I’m so sorry! Somehow I missed your comment. You can center pull from this skein of yarn but the bigger name brands (like this one) are notorious for spitting out a ton of “yarn vomit” before you can get to it. Hope this helps!!

  • @pegibevins6883
    @pegibevins6883 7 месяцев назад

    I'm having a problem getting the long arm to stay put between the butterfly and the washer. I've tried putting the arm on top of the washer and around/behind the butterfly, and under the washer and butterfly, but either way it keeps coming out. It's like the butterfly needs to be bigger in order to hold down the arm. What do I do? Thanks.

  • @melissamason845
    @melissamason845 7 месяцев назад

    If you are going to do a project with 2 or 3 strands at a time, would it work to make a cake with all 3 together and wind them at once?

  • @lbottino1034
    @lbottino1034 2 года назад +4

    I don't want to be a downer here BUT according to the Stanwood video instructions for this ball winder, the feed arm is attached by removing the nut and washer. Place the crook of the feed arm around the screw that is behind the nut assembly. Place the washer over the arm to keep it stable and then tighten the screw.

    • @Yarndrasil
      @Yarndrasil  2 года назад +4

      Ohhh good eye. The washer should be on top of the feed arm.

    • @MKBuddy1

      I didn't have any luck with that mine still kept swinging so hubby added 2 screws on each side of it to keep it stable There's no way I can move now

  • @rickibaldwin7667

    the yarn winding part (cone) constantly popped off during winding. was i too fast? is there a way to "lock it in place"?

  • @jackieostrander9667
    @jackieostrander9667 Год назад +1

    I have had trouble with center pull yarn. It tangles and gets stuck when pulling by hand while stitching. I don't know how you are able to do this. I would like to rewind my skeins. It would make it easier for a yarn bowl!

    • @Yarndrasil
      @Yarndrasil  Год назад

      How is the tension of the cake you’re pulling from? If it feels really tight, that could be your issue. You want the cakes to feel springy. Sometimes I will rewind mine again so that I have an easier time with the tension.
      Hopefully this helps 💖

  • @allendunwoody3505

    Why would someone turn a skein into a ball? Is it a personal preference thing, or is a ball just better to work with?

    • @Yarndrasil
      @Yarndrasil  Год назад +2

      It’s just a preference. I do find that the tension is more even. Also, I’d rather know ahead of time if there’s a weird break or knot somewhere in the yarn
