Krista, I would attach a dollarstore metal Paper towel Holder to the Center of the Lazysusan... Voila! instant Turning-Yarn-holder.😂

Thanks, @tammyne! 🌸👍🌺

[@mjjones7413]

I have 3 yarn butlers (the first one you opened) and I LOVE my 3 so much. I cake my yarn and work from the outside. It keeps the yarn clean and even if its not caked, a skein fits perfectly on it as well.

[@SecretYarnery]

Thanks so much for sharing, @mjjones7413! That's a good one!! xx

[@KBFibers]

Love the pendulum style of yarn holder! I have two and use them all the time (even in the car).

[@SecretYarnery]

That's awesome, @KBFibers! Thank you for sharing!! 🌸👍🌺

[@candygrubisic]

I don't use them but they sure are cute/cool looking, even just sitting on a shelf with a ball of yarn on them. Makes for cute decor when not in use.

[@SecretYarnery]

I know, riiiiight, @candygrubisic?? Thank you for sharing! 🌸🌼🌺

[@nikkifairbanks2779]

Now if you work 2 colors at a time you have a holder for each one 😊

[@SecretYarnery]

I agree @nikkifairbanks2779! 👍 Thank you! 🌺🌻🌸

[@tammyne]

I like the dark wood.

[@SecretYarnery]

Thanks so much for sharing, @tammyne!

[@StitchesbySharonH]

I bought a nice double one from Amazon. It’s actually sitting in a drawer because I usually sit on the sofa to crochet or knit and just have my yarn next to me, lol. But, I love having gadgets!! 😂

[@SecretYarnery]

That's awesome, @StitchesbySharonH! Lol! Thank you for sharing!! 🌸👍🌺

[@denisegilliam842]

Krista, I love my wood & plastic yarn spinner. ❤

[@SecretYarnery]

That's awesome, @denisegilliam842! Thank you!! 🌸👍🌺

[@ColletteKelly]

I had a plastic yarn holder and i upgraded to a wooden one where the base kind of looks like a teddy bear. The pole where you attach your yarn is shaped like a flower at the bottom. The design is so well done that when it spins back with each tug it never really connects to the curve of the actual base stalk of the holder. This is important because when i had my plastic one the pole swinging back after a tug of the yarn would make a "clack"ing sound from the circle at the bottom. But due to this being the shape it is. It's completely silent. OMG. I'm in love with it. My wooden one is such an upgrade and i am so glad i upgraded. It seems to work better if you spin your balls into cakes, but will work fine on regular balls. However i did have to get a set of rubber feet for mine as a strong tug would make me yank it off my desk :D Happy crocheting!

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh thank you so much, @ColletteKelly! That is great advise! Maybe I should look at that teddy bear shaped one! Thank you! 🌺🌻🌸

[@trovey02]

I have the same one.😂

[@victoriavigyikan4731]

I have the same one with the flower petal base and the teddy bear shaped base. I love it. I was given lots of old old yarns from a friend and none have a center pull. This makes for smooth crocheting. I purchased mine through Temu. I’ve been crocheting for 45 years. This is the best tool next to a hook!

[@vivienschiele]

I just put the cake on the table and pull the yarn from the outside upward rather than to the side. It's way faster and less annoying than using the yarn holder and nothing tumbles around awkwardly. Especially when knitting coulourwork, I can keep moving the cakes to untangle the yarn.

[@SecretYarnery]

Thanks so much for sharing, @vivienschiele! That's a good one!! xx

[@knitpurlsquirrelwithgrannydee]

I have a couple of the the levitating yarn holders - works fab! I use mine all the time - actually ordered a second one after enjoying the first one so much. And I’ve always been a center puller, but mine was a game changer!

[@SecretYarnery]

That's awesome, @knitpurlsquirrelwithgrannydee! Thank for sharing!!🌸👍🌺

[@Craftingintx]

I have the one with the magnet. Love it! My dogs knock it off the table because it is lightweight. Hasn’t broken yet… I love my yarn bowls too, but I have dropped some ceramic ones, shattered!

[@SecretYarnery]

That's awesome, @Craftingintx! Thank you!! 🌸👍🌺

[@denisejf]

I don't have one as ive never had the need for it. They do seem to work great. Thank you for sharing with us 🥰 Wishing you a beautiful blessed day/night and weekend 🙏🏻💖

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, @denisejf!! Thanks so much for sharing! Wishing you a blessed day too!🌸👍🌺

[@KellieDTravis]

I LOVE Nano tape!!! My niece and daughter used to order from AliExpress all the time but I've never tried it

[@SecretYarnery]

That's awesome, @KellieDTravis! Thank you!! 🌸👍🌺

[@Debbstar1000]

I have these 1 a plastic which we had to clamp to the table as it was too light and a wooden one. I love both of mine.

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, @Debbstar1000!! Thanks so much for sharing! 🌻🌺🌼

[@patpowell6684]

I got the first one (not hanging) first and the yarn kept getting wound between the spindle and the base….i bought the yarn jeanie next and absolutely loved it….but when I saw the wooden one I replaced the jeanie (gave it to a friend) because I just love wood!!! Love all your tree trunk tables by the way.🤩 must admit I prefer to cake up my skeins because when the get small they get floppy, plus I love playing with my winder 🤣. I bought extra spindles with the jeanie and I kept them because it’s handy if you are working with multiple colours. I believe you can put one cake onto of the other and work that way but I haven’t tried it. Bye 💁🏼‍♀️

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, @patpowell6684!! That's awesome! Lol! Thanks so much for sharing! 🌻🌺🌼

[@kathleenjones9153]

Hi Secret Yarny I have the brown yarn holder with the magnet and I love it. I use it all of the time.

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, @kathleenjones9153!! That's awesome! Thanks so much for sharing! 🌻🌺🌼

[@television4994]

I have the Barva Weighted Big Yarn Ball Holder in natural wood color, and in the version that comes with two (large and small) spindles. The design is more like the little one you got from Ali and the ChiaoGoo your friend has. I LOVE the Barva. It's very smooth. It doesn't make much noise or drag. The big spindle can easily hold 300g balls; I don't have any to try, but I bet it could hold a jumbo pound skein! My one criticism? It was almost $50 on Amazon, with Prime, in the USA. Ouch. But it's soooo good!

[@SecretYarnery]

Thanks so much for sharing, @television4994! That's a good one!! xx

[@lauralee254]

I've been wanting to try one so bad! Thank you for the review! You're awesome!

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh thank you so much, @lauralee254! 🌺🌻🌸

[@LC-ck8xc]

I was going to order the same ones but I found a paper towel holder at Ross. I am really enjoying it.

[@iolazinn6476]

I was wondering if a towel rack would work. Thanks.

[@oakstrong1]

I have two paper towel holders as well. The great thing about them is their heavy bases: they are not moving anywhere even when I yank hard. The only thing is that the yarn doesn't spin around so well because of friction. I tried to solve it by caking my yarn around the cardboard tubes from the centre of toilet and paper towel rolls. My friend gave me an off-cut of his plastic water pipe and it works slightly better. I also put a large, plastic yoghurt tub holder at the bottom, to reduce friction. But if I knew a clever woodworker with the right tool, I would ask her to make me a base with a groove for bearings - then I would have one of those non-magnetic yarn holders, but one that Goulding even take a 200- 400g ball! 😀 I guess, the base could be a plastic one, too, anything not too heavy and with a smooth surface! Shame, I don't know anyone with a 3D printer.

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, @LC-ck8xc!! Thanks so much for sharing! 🌻🌺🌼

[@LC-ck8xc]

@oakstrong1 my paper towel holder has like satin finish on the metal and my yarn does spin.

[@Jenz607]

I have 4 "wool jeannie"s bought from Wool warehouse. I've used them for years. I like them for hanks, balls, skeins, and cakes. Try it out. They are plastic not wood. But great

[@SecretYarnery]

That's awesome, @Jenz607! Thank you for sharing!! 🌸👍🌺

[@billieknight9562]

I use mine all the time. I cake up my skeins just so I can use my wood wool genie. I’m usually a slow crocheter but this has allowed me to speed up because I am not having to stop and pull my working yarn from my skein. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@SecretYarnery]

That's awesome, @billieknight9562! Thank you for sharing!! 🌸👍🌺

[@Value1lady]

I have one used about twice and stopped bc sometimes the yarn gets wrapped around the bottom. I do like it!❤❤

[@SecretYarnery]

That's awesome, @Value1lady! Thank you for sharing!! 🌸👍🌺

[@Emilie-GrandmaB]

I love my Wool Genie, same concept but in plastic and I purchased off of Etsy.

Those look fun to use!

[@SecretYarnery]

I agree @livc1981! 👍 Thank you! 🌺🌻🌸

[@PokeNPlumb]

I have the "Wool Jeanie" and a "Twizzer". I love both of mine and they are the same concept except not the same to use. All I do know... the yarn holders and wind or a breeze do NOT mix. Hahahahahahaha I had to retrieve my yarn from all over my side yard once. Hahahahaha I do not center pull any of my yarn anymore, and I cake all yarns if need be to use my Jeanie and Twizzer. Hope ya really find to love the ones you got!! My favorite one it the darker one. Just looks more rich to me. ❤❤❤ Love ya, my friend.

[@SecretYarnery]

That's awesome, @PokeNPlumb! Thank you!! 🌸👍🌺

[@patsymutiso]

I crochet from the outside of the yarn skein because I don't like the yarn vomit. I could really use a yarn holder, especially when I'm doing a tutorial 😀.

That's a great idea, @katrienvh4289! 👍 Thanks!! 🌺🌼🌸

[@tinahooper3470]

Hi Christa. Yes, I did buy one. The natural color version you put together last, I love it. The swinging lets up once in a while if the pull on the yarn is steady and smooth. Takes a little getting used to.😊 We also have an old paper towel rack that used to be mounted in the kitchen. Thought I could use it for small skiens.🤞 stay safe and happy hooking.

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, @tinahooper3470!! That's awesome! Thanks so much! 🌻🌺🌼

[@Debbie2004]

I have been wanting one of these but wasn't sure if they would work. I live in Nova Scotia Canada and they are a lot more expensive here even on Amazon but from watching your video I think I will invest in one thank you for sharing👍🇨🇦

[@Jennlikestocrochet]

As a fellow Nova Scotian, I bought one about a month ago on Amazon, $45 with taxes in - worth every single penny! Ideal with caked up skeins but even crochet thread on a cardboard core flows smoothly.

[@kiddycar16]

Hi Krista😊 I was on Lucas Yarns and he was talking about the Yarn Genie. That one came from the UK an was too expensive. So I looked it up on Walmart. I brought 3 small size of your scratchy holder. I just love it 🤩. I was using cakes with the center pull but after a while it collapses on itself and then I get a tangled mess. Also thought it would work great for doing two time socks. I've lost my crojo after doing c2c blankets (twin/queen).Thanks for the unboxing always great to hear your input.

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, @kiddycar16!! That's awesome! So sorry about that! Thanks so much! 🌻🌺🌼

I would have loved to see how they do while you work because it's not always the same as just tugging it from the ball (at least that's my experience, I have one like your cheaper one and it just gets stuck a lot depending on where it is compared to where i'm working)
