From McIntosh
The ChiaoGoo Yarn Butler is a simple but wonderfully useful accessory designed to help your yarn feed smoothly while you knit or crochet.
The ChiaoGoo Yarn Butler is a simple wooden spindle that holds a ball of yarn while you knit or crochet. Put the ball on the spindle, and it rotates freely as you pull, so the yarn unwinds evenly.
That helps cut down on tangles and stops the ball rolling across the floor. Rubber feet on the base protect your table and keep the butler steady, and the spindle unscrews from the base for compact storage.
It suits knitters and crocheters who work from wound balls and want them to stay put, whether at home or in a workspace.
Place the ball over the spindle so the yarn feeds from the outside, and set the butler near your hand so the yarn travels a short, straight path. Because it spins freely, it suits outside-pull balls best. If yarn twists as you work, flip the ball over and see if it feeds more smoothly the other way.
Wipe the wood with a dry cloth and keep it out of damp and direct heat. Unscrew the spindle for storage.
