    Ok I want the deleted scenes because I know that he had to take many takes to say that opening without cracking up with the ball remarks. The sloppy balls was enough for me to spit out my drink and choke laughing so hard. On a serious note I want this machine now so that I can have perky balls too. :D ;)

    I have had "sloppy ball" syndrome for years...I am so glad you have brought this condition to light. I can finally admit I have this condition and get the help I so desparately need ... I felt so alone ... tear. ROFLMBO. Seriously I have a winder but had been having a little issue with it and now fixed. Love the label idea. Thanks so much.

    I roll a whole skein bcz they don't become knotted as easily. But I thought my yarn winder was broken and almost threw it away. I actually had it in the trash but took it back out thinking my daughter could fix it 😹🤣🤣. Darndest contraption I've ever seen 🤣. Thank God for you and RUclips 🤣🤣. Tyfs God bless you

    I love my ball winder. I’m the queen of scrap yarn, so this saves me lots of time and grief.
    When knitting fuzzy scarves, to give the scarf more body and warmth, I combine a fuzzy strand with a complimentary supersaver yarn using my ball winder. The reason I do that is because I’m knitting with even tension with yarns that have very different weights. Also, I can tell the look of the scarf quite well by looking at the ball.
    Thanks for the tip about putting the label in the center. I can’t believe that I’ve been knitting for 40 years and never thought of that.
    When I get done winding a ball, I always make sure to have the starter end coming out of the center so it pulls easily instead of goobering up the entire center trying to find it.

  • @dianemacmillan4327
    @dianemacmillan4327 9 лет назад +9

    Hi Mikie. I love my ball winder, but I did not like the way the yarn started to collapse as you use the yarn, so I came up with the idea to use the cardboard insert from toilet paper. I cut it down the middle to make it snug and tape it , not too tight or you can't get it off the winder. I also at times have to cut it around the top to make it the same size as the winder stem. I take the first string of yarn and put just a little tape onto the paper roller. It works perfect. and as your using the yarn, it will not collapse in the middle as most of the sights that show how to use this, once the yarn is done, they say to start using it from the center. Dosn't make sence as as you go along the ball starts to collapse. Give my suggestion a try and tell me what you think.

    • @dianemacmillan4327
      @dianemacmillan4327 9 лет назад +2

      Oh i forgot to say that when I use y yarn after balling it up, i start from the outside of the ball, not the center. Works so much better. I found i can sit the yarn on the floor next to where i am sitting and never have to adjust anything as the yarn pulls up without any problems....:) love to watch your video's you make me happy.

    • @maryblueyes41

    Thank you for this tutorial, I’m getting one tomorrow because rolling skein remainders into balls by hand is a literal pain. Also, my “couch” is my bed would a lap table work to clamp the winder on? Update: I got it and love it, $40 well spent, and it clamped to my lap table just fine

    hiya, Mikey. :)
    i have the same product, and I dont know if anyone had said this, but you can also put the beginning of the yarn through the loophole of the metal stand. easier for me than to twirl it around from the bottom of it. :) and i agree that THIS IS AN AMAZING TOOL! I even beat that shiny slippery polyester balls into neat and lovely polyester yarn cake.
    toodles! :)

    @kathrynmeador791 6 лет назад

    I had a small problem with it collapsing. I also use a toilet paper tube, and it's great. I also make faux cables with them. Then I add a six-pack ring to DC around; join as a doily ring; and place toilet tube candles in the rings. It's great as an x-mas decor. And safer when you have little ones that may be tempted to "light up" a real candle.

  • @crystalsaphrias
    @crystalsaphrias 2 дня назад

    Tip; put a small knot in the end of the yarn, feed it through the loop on the winder, and then put it in the notches. Hey presto, the knot stops the end of the yarn from slipping through the notches and it also makes it easy to find or hold in the middle.

    Mine ball winder is identical woks great on 4-ply, but messes up on any finer yarn like baby yarn or "Unforgettable" that is thinner and has a sheen or silkiness to it. Any suggestions? I go through boatloads of baby yarn for charity hats for the hospitals, and loads of Unforgetable for prayer shawls and keepsakes for the elderly. I love the center-pull the ball winder makes.

    Sadly, Royal no longer makes this ball winder... and the "just as good" one from Stanwood is NOT NEARLY as good. i wanted one for my wife after watching her wind multiple balls by hand. unfortunately ball winders seem to go from "too cheap and poorly made to own" to $130... with not much in the middle. i'd love to find a high quality plastic one for her that's made in Germany or Switzerland. ::sigh:: Any ideas?

    1) because my super savers seem to get messed up when I pull them from the middle or if I have to frog back it gets twisted. 2) could you use an empty toilet paper roll in the middle in lieu of the label?
