Review on ๐Ÿงถ ChiaoGoo 1092 Wood Yarn Butler by Michelle Doebke

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poorly made - Spindle is crooked, bearings sticking, surface is rough

Upon opening I was disappointed to find that the texture of the wood was rough from the varnish. Deciding I could sand it down myself, I assembled it, put on a piece of yarn and realized how poorly made it was. It didn't turn because the bearings got stuck at a certain point when turning, and the threads for the spindle were set at an angle. I didn't cross thread when assembling, but the spindle isn't perpendicular to the base, or even close enough to be usable. I will return the product and try to make my own.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Negative impression
