Well built yarn cake winder
I purchased this yarn cake/ball winder at Christmas for my wife. I read a lot of good reviews on it and it cost a little more than others but I liked that it wound a larger 10oz cake. I wanted my wife to have something that would be long lasting and durable with 4 boys at the house and something that she could easily manage and not have to deal with any operability problems. I actually was quite impressed with the way this unit is built. It far exceeded my expectations in quality and operability. It came with one sheet with a few basic instructions and was easy to follow and allowed my wife to quickly be making her yarn cakes. At this point she has a mountain of yarn cakes at the house! It's really nice for her to be able to sit in her chair, set the yarn cake on the table, pull the yarn from the center, and not have her skein rolling around everywhere like she was dealing with before. All I can say is as a man I am impressed with how the winder is built in durability and construction, and my wife loves how it operates and its ease of use. I can't see why anybody would have any complaints with the winder.Read full review

Excellent Yarn Winding Tool
I have had two other brands of yarn winders In the past. I returned one to the place I bought it and the other one has never worked well. This winder has been excellent since it arrived. I have used it for dozens of skeins and it has worked great. It's one of the best products I have purchased. Love it.Read full review

worth the cost.
I've owned several different winder brands but this one stands up under pressure! Heavy duty construction and quality design. I own 2 of these models and they always work perfectly! Large cakes or small, this ismy go to winder for all types of yarn.Read full review

Better value than 'cheaper' units!
Like many in the knitting and crochet community, I have used the less expensive, plastic yarn winding units for many years. Over time these would tangle the yarn, or they could not handle a large skein or yarn, or sometimes the yarn would go under the base, and get caught in the mechanism. Finally, when I needed still another new unit, I did some research, and decided to try this winder, and I could not be happier! It is quiet, efficient, and I can wind a much larger quantity than ever before! Plus, because the base is made of heavy steel, I know that this will last me for the rest of my life! Happy, happy!!!!Read full review

Stanwood 10 oz yarn winder
I highly recommend this yarn winder. It is easy and fast and seems sturdy so far. If you are in the market for one make sure to get the 10 oz one as it can easily wind up those large skeins of yarn in minutes.Read full review

Better than U-Nitt
I bought a winder like this called U-Knitt or something like that, and it clanked and made noise as it pushed against a screw, so I sent it back. I bought an original Stanwood, and just love it. It is really quiet, just a little noise, but not enough to bother you at all. You have to have a side winder to get this not to tangle or hold it up yourself, like I do. Other than that, it is worth getting one. A little pricey but nice.Read full review

You get what you pay for!
I am always winding yarn and this winder is the best buy I have made. It works effortlessly, can handle larger hanks of yarn, and is certainly worth the money. I had bought another, less expensive, similar winder and it was a total disappointment. So happy that I made the decision to pay more. I have definitely gotten what I paid for! If you are as dedicated to knitting as I am, this is one investment you will wonder why you didn't make it sooner. I recommend this product to all yarn crafters!Read full review

Amazing..
I have been using a plastic type of balls dear that wobbles to create the ball..it is so difficult to wind wit continually watching and arranging! This unit is so nice...it is smooth to use and since it wraps, not wobbles, it seems to wind a ball with ease! I would recommend to all yarn users! Well worth the money!Read full review

Best Ball Winder
This winder is the best quality you can buy. I tried a cheaper one but had to send it back. It's more expensive, but you get what you pay for. All ball-winders work a little more stiffly as the ball gets larger, but at least this one doesn't act or feel like it's going to break down or grind to a halt before you're finished winding. Don't go with the cheaper knock-offs, there is definitely a difference in quality!Read full review
