🧶 Lacis Plastic Wool Yarn Ball Winder Review

I am very disappointed in this ball wrapper and will likely return. The hand holding the yarn won't stay upright and will fall off if you don't hold it. I can't believe there isn't a way to keep your arm straight! You stretch your arm out of the wonder and vertically to "fix" it, but any pressure from the yarn will cause it to fall off. I would also like the wrap component to be a bit heavier. You can stop swaddling as soon as you start or the miracle will fly back and start ruining your little

Easily sew an entire skin out of Red Heart Supersaver thread. You must maintain constant, even tension as you wrap. Not suitable for lighter yarns without a smaller spool. I've wrapped about 100 skins in different yarns and I feel like the gears are breaking or the teeth are loose. This is a good product, be careful with it. The feed lever has locking problems, check regularly. I know other reviews say to pull it until it clicks, but it doesn't click until I break it. Oh and it's a total pain…

This product is a simple yarn winding machine with a relatively simple design, so I think it does not live up to expectations. As recommended, I use a speed winder to ensure smooth/constant feeding. The instructions are simple and contain no troubleshooting advice. The trailing arm is poorly designed and requires excessive force to lock (to the point I'm afraid of breaking the plastic base). If the bellcrank is misplaced, the yarn will get caught in the open gears under the spindle and become a

This thing is awesome! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! I've had no problems with it and it makes the cleanest balls of yarn that pulls VERY well from the center quickly and easily. I bet the first time I used it I wound 30 incomplete skeins into nice neat skeins - and I did it in no time. EVERY serious knitter or knitter should have one of these. Before I bought this I read many reviews and wrote down the ones that said the manual was inadequate. I pulled the guide out until it fully engaged and stayed in

I had a very large stack of loose balls and this product allowed me to wind them up very quickly. I've used it several times (one session lasted 2 hours) and never had any problems. The biggest problem I had wasn't even the yarn winder, it was my yarn ball! I would advise those having problems to make sure the guide (metal nozzle) is fully extended. This will engage this lever and keep the twine level with the center section. Also, those who have trouble with the yarn going under the holder and

So far I haven't had any problems with this winder. It winds the yarn very well into a ball with a central pull. It's also good for other things that hold up better when wrapped around. In fact, it doesn't form a sphere, but rather a thick cylinder. I have seen the shape described as a bundle of yarn. I was able to wind a double strand of yarn for use in applications that require two strands of yarn to add volume. No problem attaching the winder to the edge of the table. The instructions state…
