@SecretYarnery, I suggest using wood glue, not hot glue, to repair the wood holder.

[@MParentWetmore]

Awesome video. Really appreciate all the research you did, and the Amazon links. Thank you from a new subscriber.

[@KraftiKimi]

Couldn't we just use a less expensive 10mm x 8mm magnetic that more affordable?

[@katieerickson4518]

I love the hole yarn winder's idea!! IT IS SO..GOOD!! I like the yarn winders that stick to the table that don't GET LOOSE!! 😮❤

[@YoMammaDragon]

Thank you for this! My biggest problem is I want one now and Amazon says it will take two weeks to get here.😂

[@kristinradams7109]

I use two wooden paper towel holders that my grandfather made many years ago. They're heavy enough to be stable, but they don't spin. Which is a problem, right? So I found a genius solution a few years ago. I bought a cheap package of disposable paint rollers from walmart. The long ones that have the fuzzy outside and the hard cardboard inside. I wrap my yarn around the paint roller and then put it onto the paper towel holder. Spins like a dream, and the fuzzy outside keeps my yarn from slipping off. I love this for many reasons. The easy spinning, the ability to replace rolls and projects easily, and the affodability. I have to admit I'm pretty proud of myself here. Lol. Happy crafting, everybody :)

[@knitsofold]

Brilliant idea.

[@NM-js8ky]

Fabulous!

[@bearitraeb]

To me…. All I see is your ancestral energy there cheering you on every time it spins.

[@monams2514]

I wish I could see a picture of that!

[@amethystanne4586]

Using fuzzy paint rollers is such a good idea! My Dad made me a paper towel holder about 20(?)years ago. I’m not currently using for it’s intended purpose. Your idea would be a perfect way to use it, and not have it just sitting in the way gathering dust. Thank you so much! 😘

[@kerravonsen2810]

That extra magnet idea is brilliant! Thank you for doing all the research for us. I have another tip for those magnetic yarn holders. I found the base of the spindle too narrow for some of my yarn, so I made the base wider by unscrewing the base and putting an old CD in between the base and the dowel and then screwing it up again. It fit nicely, and it made the base wider. (Then I replaced it with two CDs back to back so that the reflective side was out, just to make it look prettier).

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh that is SO CLEVER, @kerravonsen2810! I'll have to pass that one along! GREAT tip! Thank you so much 🌺🌻🌸

[@meandmymacaw2735]

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, @littlemissunshine7846!! That's clever! Thank you! 🌻🌺🌼

[@homemadebydebbie5294]

I use a paper towel holder but if the yarn is pulled from the center of the skein, sometimes it gets stuck inside. I like your spinners! I think I need one.

[@LisaT_]

Me too! 😊 But it isn’t ideal. Just used in a pinch. I’ve always thought I was a center pull girl, but see the appeal of not doing that of late, so I’m changing lanes I think! 😂

[@raineylee]

Love this review❤ I’ve been looking into buying one. Now I know what to expect and how to fix it. Love how you go into detail!

[@teresascrochetandanimals]

I’ve always pulled from the outside, it’s just how I learned . And I use a paper towel holder that my husband rigged behind my chair sideways (so it comes straight out instead of up and down) and it works great for me until it gets low then I have to remove it to finish .

[@MsBooooh]

I bought a magnectic one last month and am really in love with it! Didn't have trouble with the power of the magnet, so far it holded any yarn I tested! Totally game changer!

[@SecretYarnery]

That is awesome! I’m so glad it’s working out for you!

[@kathleenhensley5951]

My husband made me one back ... oh, 40 yrs ago. I used it for a long time. I was working on a thread bedspread.. . I like the idea of the counter-sink style. I've bought a bowl and like it more. I tend to make even my skeins, cakes, now. I always hated the knot that forms when the skein is ending. It doesn't take that long to make a cake of yarn. For the wooden ones I'd use that gripper material so it didn't slide on the table.

[@SecretYarnery]

Sounds fabulous, @kathleenhensley5951! Thanks! 🌺🌷🌸

[@christinaeckhart2784]

I use an old ice cream container with a hole in the lid 😂 free and easy!

[@cricos_crea]

But you have to pull the yarn, with these with a magnet you don't have to

[@LindaKNe]

OMG thanks for finding the solution for super large skeins! You are amazing. Thanks so much!

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh I am so glad you liked it, @LindaKNe! Thanks!🌻🌺🌼

[@bluesonicstreak7317]

Linda, if you're using larger skeins, definitely use the wooden Artowell ones she linked. But look around, they make a bigger size. I've got a double-header from them that has a bigger side that holds a Super Saver skein with tons of room. For the single size, look at the product description of the one she listed in the description; there is a "plus size"/"standard size" option that you can select between. I thought this would be equal to the bigger size of the double-header I have, although looking at it JUST now, I see measurements on there that suggests the single version is just slightly smaller, which is really odd (given that they sell replacement spindles in both sizes, you'd think they'd be the same). Maybe that info is slightly inaccurate. Either way, both should hold bigger skeins with more clearance.

[@LindaKNe]

@@bluesonicstreak7317 thanks so much. Love this thing!

[@franceswatts4001]

I have 2 Yarn Genies and I absolutely love them. Not only do they solve my tension problems, because they dismantle so quickly and easily they are perfect for popping in my bag to take with me if I am going to our crochet Club.

[@maryp3212]

I was just thinking of these holders and the reviews on this issue was giving me pause. This discovery of yours is AWESOME!!! Thank you.

[@kaiiskz]

I used to be a centre puller - so much so that I can wind a centre pull ball by hand without using a winder but I would always be frustrated by my yarn ending up either over twisted or totally untwisted as I worked. Then one day I saw a video which was my eureka moment. It explained the problem of centre pull and then gave a very visual demonstration. They took a narrow strip of paper and rolled it up to simulate the ball of yarn and then took hold of the centre and pulled straight up. That strip of paper emerged as a tight spiral, showing how it was the centre pull causing my twist problems. I then got a yarn genie and have never looked back! I absolutely recommend them, also doing the paper experiment to see it for yourself.

[@SecretYarnery]

[@amydbwinters]

The research you have done is awesome, Christa!!

[@heatherholly6563]

I use the Barva brand double spinner. It works fabulously. The yarn never gets stuck around the base. I think because the spindle is recessed into the base. It also has more space between the spindles than the double one you showed. I couldn't live without it.

[@judygoudreau6472]

Where did you get it?

[@heatherholly6563]

@judygoudreau6472 I got it from Ali Express. They also have them on Amazon.

[@pollyj4jam157]

I wrapped the bottom with tape to stop the yarn wrapping around inner spindle. The first spinner you reviewed.

That's a great idea, @pollyj4jam157! 👍 Thanks!! 🌺🌼🌸

[@JillLowman-l4f]

How and where did you tape? I have one I don't use because of the yarn wrapping around the spindle in the gap.

[@lovemesomeslippers]

@@JillLowman-l4fI would also like a tip on this!

[@LindaKNe]

Hi Christa! Got one cuz of your program a few weeks ago! Got the magnetic one and I love it for small to medium size balls. Gigantic balls tip over so I am on the lookout for super large ones. Have now shared it with our knit and crochet group here in Sun City Roseville in California which has about 25 to 30 people. Several folks looked it up right away. This was a fun discovery. Thanks. Have fun today. Linda

[@SecretYarnery]

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

[@bethhasilo1536]

I just received the wooden double spindle one for my birthday in August. Mine is a darker wood & the spindles are wood but taller; the size of a Bernat Super Value skein. I'm making an Afghan where I'm carrying the yarn so this has been a fantastic tool for me. I'm using Bernat Super Value 440 yards each. I have not had an issued of them flattening out & touching. I highly recommend it.

[@bluesonicstreak7317]

As someone who HATES center pulling (I either have extremely bad luck with yarn barf, or something about my style increases the propensity of center-pull skeins to constantly re-tangle, but 1+ hour of detangling for every hour of knitting/crocheting has been my experience), I was recently in the market for one of these. I used to just nestle the skein on a bunched-up hoodie so that it wouldn't roll or flip. I got good with practice at pulling just hard enough to unwind without sending the skein flying. That still gets tough with cake yarn when it gets down to a tiny tube. I watched your previous video on these as well as a few others reviewing the "Wool Jeanie." I had initially been going to buy the "lazy Susan" style, but I kept seeing people mentioning the yarn tangling in the base. So I went for the "pendulum" style instead, even though I didn't initially like the look of the yarn swinging around. I got one of those wooden Artowell/Flykey ones, the double-headed one that is two different sizes. I'm in Canada, but I can see from your links that the same one exists on the American Amazon. If you're an Amazon affiliate, you may want to add the link to that one separately - you show a double-headed one at the end of the video, but it looks like the arms are the same size. You want the one where they are DIFFERENT sizes. Reason being, that brand makes a "jumbo" size, which I believe is equivalent to the bigger side. (For the single version, select "plus size" in the listing description.) The jumbo/plus size will comfortably hold a skein of Super Saver or a Caron One Pound with ample clearance in all directions. I assume it should also fit the Pound of Love from Lion Brand, but I haven't tested it. I haven't had the Super Saver I currently have loaded on the jumbo side fall off even with some hard shaking, so maybe the magnet is upgraded on that one and you got old stock with the ones you have, idk. If not, your magnet solution is GREAT. (I also don't know why they don't just make a double-headed one that is jumbo on both sides...I will have to get a single jumbo one coming up because I have plans for a blanket that is a one-pound style of yarn and the RH Granny square yarn and I was hoping to fit them both easily on the double header. Oh well.) I love this thing to death already and have bought more spindles for it so I can have all my WIPs loaded and ready to swap at a moment's notice. Admittedly I haven't gotten to the end of any skeins yet, so maybe a unique problem will arise at the end. But even then, I think it will be worth getting. I was using a Caron cake on it the other day and it was unwinding so smoothly that I never had to look over at the cake once. Game changer.

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh YES, @bluesonicstreak7317! I should get one of those... I am sure it will be bombdiggity! Thank you so much! 🌺🌻🌸

SUBSCRIBED!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉 I bought a double wooden lazy susan thingy and it would get stuck like what was the point darnit it ruin my mood for sure so I went to ali express and ordered the plastic wool jeanie game changer spins perfectly 👌 so smooth BUT it would tip, not enough clearance for the yarn and it would clack when I got a going 😂 so hubby clamp it to the table but sometimes my yarn would get stuck on the clamp. ( back to square one) Then hubby melted some sort of metal on the bottom of the plastic to add weight for it not to tip over. Is my daily driver 😅 BUT don't work for larger skeens if yarn. Literally 20 min ago the double magnetic wood one arrived 😅!!!! Now I just need the magnets you kindly did research on, and I should be golden. Thank you so much 🎉

[@CherylHullett]

I thoroughly enjoyed spending this week with you and your family. My husband started deer hunting this past weekend and got his first deer of the season. He came home Sunday and we are headed back to our deer camp today to do more hunting (Veterans hunt) before all of the hunters get out there, I think this weekend, and really start to pressure the deer. He has a huge advantage during deer season since he's a veteran and gets to hunt first. We usually get all of the deer we need during this initial week. Congrats to Mark for getting a moose on his last day!! And by the way, that huge bull moose they saw was gorgeous!!

This was such a fantastic video, I had to subscribe! 😊 I also have the magnetic spool and love it. My main issue with it was that my yarn would sometimes get a little bit stuck where it wraps around the bottom of the ball. My fix to this was to make a little cone out of card stock with a hole at the top of the cone large enough to fit the dowel. So, I first slide the cone down the dowel to the base, and then I slide on the ball. The cone gives it a little more clearance on the bottom so the yarn doesn't get pinned beneath the weight of the ball. Thanks so much for the magnet hacks!

I bought a paper towel holder to use for yarn, also. However, I use it to hold coned weaving yarns or crochet thread. It is easier to keep my yarn and thread balls from collapsing and tangling if they are wound around a tube. One time, I didn't have a tube handy, so I took a piece of thicker paper and wrapped it around a pencil. I slid the wrapped pencil in the middle of the ball/cake, while sliding the cake off the ball winder. Then, I just slid the pencil out. And then I started saving paper towel, toilet paper, and coned yarn tubes again! 😆

Oh that is so clever, @audreydeneui192! Thank you so much 🌺🌻🌸

[@anitahards]

I use the magnetic one. Absolutely fabulous . Am getting the double one as easy to do colour changes

[@SecretYarnery]

I agree @anitahards! 👍 Thank you! 🌺🌻🌸

[@amys5087]

I dont know whether to say, wow you went thru a lot to solve the problem or smile. 😊

[@SecretYarnery]

Thank you, @amys5087! 🌈🌼🌸

I have the wool jeanie magnetic it's brilliant, have them dotted all over the house and at work. Recommend 100%

[@dee4174]

I always rewind yarn, so I don't end up finding a knot in the middle of a row. I bought a yarn bowl and love it. Bigger yarn, I knit from a gift bag, which has the advantage that it folds flat into my knitting bag when out and about. ❤

[@SecretYarnery]

Sounds fabulous, @dee4174! Thanks! 🌺🌷🌸

[@LizcraftsDiamondPainting]

Thank you! I bought one of the spindle ones. Doesn't work for me. I knew that the magnet one wouldn't hold the big balls of thread or yarn I like to use. Your solution is brilliant! Thank you again 💓 ❤😊

Great review!! Thank you so much!!!❤

I have the Wool Genie. Sometimes my yarn flies off the ball too fast, so I use a metal office clip. I clip the clip to the top of the yarn holder (curved part) and thread my yarn through it ( yarn guide). It really helps.

I use a metal weighted paper towel holder for for the bulky blanket yarn

[@SecretYarnery]

That's a great idea, @CarolynWatson-n5z! 👍 Thanks!! 🌺🌼🌸

Loved your video!! Will be looking out for N52 batteries that don’t cost $22.00. But I’ll find them and if I do I will link it. Your video was so great. I caked all my yarn and I hate putting it in a bowl on the floor - this looks like a great alternative!!!😊

[@normabinkley6111]

Hi Beverly, not batteries, but magnets. Want to make sure you get the right one :)

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh I am so glad you enjoyed it, @beverlyb5144!! If you find N52 Magnets is a smaller pack - please send me the link! Thank you! 🌷🌺🌷

I love your channel I have watched tons of videos for crochet this and crochet that and I always find myself coming back to your page! You are wonderful at explaining and I love your crochet room. Now I just need to find a Christmas beanie on your page :) Cheers Christmas will soon be here. Mona

[@roneesalmons4006]

Thank you for your review. Very informative I have the double spinner and love it but find that those yarns that tend to collapse when taking off band is difficult to use on the spinner I was going to try another type of spinner but love your suggestion of caking yarn. Just saved me $$ thank you. I haven’t caked yarn yet but have one of those waiting for me to use.

[@oldchickenlady]

I put my yarn balls in an antique serving bowl... Pretty and functional😁

[@barbaralienhard3490]

Thanks for the video!!! Great information!! I explained to my husband and we're trying to rig something using a dowel and base and a fishing swivel. I'll let you know how it works. Living on a boat I have different restrictions like height clearance and flat surface space so we're seeing what we can do. Prayers, love and hugs my very dear friend. 🙏♥️🤗

[@jolenelarson469]

Awesome research, Krista! I have a wooden one but I don't use it unless I'm using cotton cones of yarn (and then, Zoom! it goes fast). But I'd probably use the one you chose a lot more often since it doesn't tip easily. I may just have to invest in one. Thank you again for purchasing all the types and sharing your findings! ❤

[@sbanboy]

Thank you so much for doing the research for us. I followed your advice and bought the magnetic ones with the extra stronger magnet attachment. Loving it. ❤❤❤

[@marinamartinez6886]

Excellent evaluations of these yarn holders plus how to improve on the designs. I'm doing more weaving these days but could use these and already using clamps. 👍👍👍

[@cindiejensen3555]

Thanks so much for your demonstration. I have one of the spinners and I wasn’t exactly sure how to use it and so you’ve been extremely helpful for me. Thanks again.

[@therealdjmotley]

Thanks for doing this investigating into spinners. I've never had a need for one. I use a ceramic yarn bowl.

[@SecretYarnery]

Sounds fabulous, @saltyseaair! Thanks! 🌺🌷🌸

[@keishajackson4054]

This is an amazing and valuable video!! Thank you so much for taking the time, effort and money for the research. I have been thinking about a yarn spinner for about a year now and haven’t pulled the trigger yet. So glad I didn’t! I am taking your recommendations and buying the magnetic spinner and buying the extra magnet. Again, thank you 😊

[@judyc4899]

Thank you so much for the review! I have purchased 3 spinners and love them all but now I’m going to have to get the magnets 😎😁😃

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh I am so glad, @judyc4899! Thank you!! 🌸🌼🌺

[@shaysales3025]

Awesome review…thanks!

[@paulafox30]

Cool! I have a yarn genie but it has a longer arm with more clearance so I've not had any problems with it but LOVE the idea about making your own extra spindles for it. I'm making a blanket which uses like 5 different colours and it would be so much easier to just switch out the spindle when switching colours. Also it's a mosaic blanket so I'm using 2 colours at a time and I didn't know you could get double genies, I'm just using my genie for one colour and a yarn bowl for the black, so thanks for this vid very informative 👍❤️💜

[@SecretYarnery]

Sounds fabulous, @paulafox30! Thanks! 🌺🌷🌸

[@wendymerrillperry9699]

Very helpful. Getting the single magnet one for now

[@dianecummins4168]

Wow! thank you so much. I got the yarn thingy from aliexpress and my one complaint was the magnet. N52 it is!

[@SecretYarnery]

That's awesome, @dianecummins4168! Love AliExpress. Thank you!! 🌸👍🌺

[@CarolynWatson-n5z]

A weighted metal paper towel holder works for the bulky blanket yarn

[@SecretYarnery]

That's a great idea, @CarolynWatson-n5z! 👍 Thanks!! 🌺🌼🌸

[@tonymodesto1691]

I absolutely love your video. You’re meticulous and I love it. You are so me.
