The KnitPro Natural Ball Winder turns hanks and skeins into neat, ready-to-use balls. It's made from smooth FSC-certified beechwood with a natural finish, and it winds up to 450 g of fingering-weight yarn.
An anti-friction mechanism keeps the winding smooth and snag-free. The clamp fits tables up to 45 mm (about 1.75") thick, and anti-skid rubber pads protect your furniture and keep the winder from slipping.
It suits knitters and crocheters of any level who buy yarn in hanks and want a winder that looks at home on the table.
Good for
- Winding hand-dyed hanks into balls
- Large skeins of fingering yarn
- Splitting a ball in two for socks
- Anyone who winds yarn regularly
Using it
Pair it with a swift such as the KnitPro Natural Yarn Swift so the hank feeds off evenly. Check your table's thickness before clamping, since the clamp tops out at 45 mm. Wind at a steady speed with a light hand on the yarn; winding too tight stretches it. With thicker yarns, bulk fills the winder before weight does, so stop well short of the stated capacity.
Looking after it
Wipe the wood with a dry cloth and keep it out of damp and direct sun. Tighten the clamp only enough to hold it steady.
