Aww. Auntie Toni gurl your hair is too cute! Thank you for the review and the discount code. I have killed two Boye full size electric winders. I think the flaw of their design was that fuzz/halo from the yarn clogs the mechanical parts. This design is more open and I don't see that being a problem. I'll give it a try 🤞🤞🤞🤞

I have a LOT of arthritis, so I think an electric winder would be a great addition to my tools. That way, I can save my arms and hands "time" for actually crocheting fun things!

[@Desaundrea]

So you gave me a flash back of my husband watching you try to put it together without looking at the instructions or the video 😂. Before my grandson was born we got his crib. My husband said he would put it together. I handed him the instructions and he said “ I don’t need them, I can figure it out!”. 2 hours and a bunch of cursing later and not one part of that crib was assembled 🤦🏽‍♀️. My daughter, who was 8 and a half months pregnant, was so angry with him that she kicked him out of her room 😂. I assembled the crib, step by step following the instructions 😉😂 Took me 25 minutes.

[@deirdreymayes8217]

That is too funny!!!!!😂😂😂 We as women always know how it is done and how to get it done!

[@telalong5254]

I couldn’t help but laugh. I’m not an instruction reader either. For my son’s 3rd Christmas I got him a trike. Needless to say when I finished I had forgotten the seat. Everything was a hex nut. Once on never off. I ended up at Home Depot begging a man who couldn’t stop laughing to help me. He did. I now skim instructions. Loved your post.

Toni…Oh my goodness the price of this one is WAY too much! $80! I have a Boye electric ball winder which works great for a lot less $… It has adjustable speed and can go as fast as you would want it to go. If you haven’t checked it out already maybe you can do a review on it for others to see how it works.

I don't mind winding yarn manually. It's meditative to sit and watch the cake come to life! I really like the sweater you're wearing. From another comment, I went to Ravelry and got the pattern. And your hairstyle is perfect for you. Looks very nice. Thank you for the review.

[@Fisklady2000]

Thank you for this review. I have had this winder for three months and have yet to put it together and try it out. FYI: I did not pay that much for it on Amazon. I left it sitting in my “save for later” section and waited for the price to drop to the limited time 42% off.

[@MsAneThrope]

I was hand winding a ball of yarn while watching this video lol! I am glad that this was a success, I was rooting for this machine : )

[@KarinMurati]

I love the electric yarn winder. It makes life a little bit easier. Watching from Germany

[@vanessabrumage]

I bought it from Amazon after seeing your review. I will say depending on the yarn and the speed I used it's worth it to have handy in addition to a manual winder. My shoulder/arm used to get tired with winding some of my yarns when I have a big project to prep for; the extra time and finagling with the Caydo were worth it to not have the physical burn happen. It's earned a spot in my 'easy to grab' accessories shelf.

[@Thecrochetjunkie]

i actually have this winder! got it for christmas one year. personally, mine doesn't stop on it's own, but it is very good with winding fast and being able to hold bigger cakes

[@crystalk4998]

Toni you have the BEST timing, I'm doing a massive rehaul on my organizing of my yarn and was looking for an electric winder to take the strain off my wrists. THANK YOU!!

Think I will stick to my non-electric ball winder and spend the money on yarn. What I am interested in is the pattern name and purchase info for the sweater you’re wearing. It looks like a fun and very wearable project.

Good Saturday People! Thanks Toni! Greatly appreciate you! I prefer to hand wind my yarn. ( So far, for past 57 yrs.! Started crocheting when I was 9 yrs old! )

[@patbenson2345]

Toni I took the leap and bought this yarn winder during Prime Days on Amazon. So I only paid $40 which is much less than my Scheepjes winder I bought 4 years ago. I absolutely love this winder. The cakes are so perfect. I do have a question for you about your other winder that was in a previous post. What brand is it?

[@janetjroberson2581]

I think that I will get this one too! I do have an electric ball winder that is great for winding large skeins. Great demonstration.

[@TheChroniclesOfYarnia]

I am so excited to see how this goes. I have a big old crank one that was expensive but so worth it. But electric would be divine 😊

[@katherineadams198]

Great review! You answered all the questions I had like how does it do with different weights, what happens if the yarn on your swift gets caught, and how difficult is it to set up. Ultimately I’m happy with my manual winder and just not quite willing to fork over that much for something I enjoy doing by hand. LOVE YOUR SWEATER!!

[@callingfororpheus]

while it might not be much faster, i think a tool like this would be really good for people with mobility/joint/muscle issues or injuries. i had surgery recently and had to wind some yarn about a week out, and it was ROUGH. i think especially if you have to wind a large quantity, this could be really useful! maybe not a time saver, but potentially an injury saver!

[@lynnechapman6204]

I just got this winder, and I'm still learning it.

[@susantenney8604]

Got this yarn winder in the mail the other day after watching. I have a $60 yarn winder that is hand crank and had been MISERABLE with how it worked recently on a usually beloved DK weight acrylic yarn (Color Crafter I think?) that on the hand crank with no way to adjust the tension made super tight balls that created truly epic snarls whenever I tried to pull the yarn from the center ( am too new to crochet to know that it was mostly likely due to tension). Anyway, with this winder I rewound the miserable tight balls from the old winder into new balls. Not only did the winder work great (had to use Toni's tip to use ONLY ONE tension holder though, otherwise too tight) and fast (the machine is not speedy but compared to the misery I was dealing with before unsnarling the mess this was HUGELY faster because it worked properly) the ball came out at least half again larger because it was wound lightly and with those lovely lattice formations. The balls are now light and fluffy with a large hole in the center from which the yarn can pull out like a dream. Yes the old one cost me $60 but NO I will not be using it again. Ever. Thanks Toni for bringing us the good stuff. This was worth every penny and then some. My sanity is now intact.

[@larkmacgregor3143]

I'm loving that sweater, Toni! And that 'do is so lovely on you. I love my winder from Fiber Artists Supply, but considering the arthritis in my hands, I'm beginning to consider the electric option, so I appreciate this review. I probably wouldn't have gone for this particular winder, as I'm skeptical about its durability, but FAS no longer makes a motor for its older winders. I'll be interested to see how this performs long-term.

Love the new do!! It makes you look so youthful! I only wind yarn that's left over after a project. Now that I have the holders where you can pull from the outside, I don't do that very often because left overs are still pretty in tact. I think it would be good for someone who does a lot of winding or has difficulty having to turn the handle of a regular winder, but it's not for me. Thanks for sharing this info!

OK so I am a huge fan already but this video.... well my goodness. Toni you are THE most adorable KZbinr ever. Oh and I needed this video badly after HUGE problems with my mid range yarn winder creating a nightmare with the yarn from my current project. I will try to rewind a ball (Your video here has me thinking I might have gone too tight) but if that doesn't fix it I am ON your purple winder. Because spending about 30 min per ball for unwinding the yarn mess in the center is NOT what this girl signed up for. Sending you another coffee because clearly when you have coffee prefilming you crack me up and make me smile!

I have two winders -- one small one from Knit Picks and another larger one for bulky and large skeins. I am impressed that this little electric could handle so much yarn! I'd try it if I didn't already have two.... and I really need to get a swift first for those times when my husband isn't around to hold the yarn for me.... ;) You are awesome! {Chef's Kiss}😘

I wanted a yarn ball winder so bad. I got one of the wooden ones like you have. I go back to winding balls by hand, though. I guess you can't teach old dogs new tricks. I do love the way the cakes sit better than a ball, but I like my ball building better. Plus it's cheaper.
