Yarn Ball Winder

Transform hanks or skeins into compact center-pull balls that sit nicely while you knit. As with our Options™ needles, we interviewed knitters to find out what they would like best in a ball winder—what we found is that everyone is different. Some knitters prefer to hold their ball winder while some prefer to clamp it to a table, so we created a ball winder that could do both. Use the clamp for tables or connect the ergonomic handle to use when you want to hold it. Best when used in tandem with a yarn swift (Item #80083). 80583 Your Cost $19.99
