Ball Winders

A ball winder is used to create a center-pull ball of yarn from a skein or hank of yarn. Although it is certainly possible to wind a ball of yarn yourself without using any tools, a ball winder and a yarn swift make the job much faster and easier.

When deciding which ball winder to buy, you’ll want to look for one that clamps solidly to your table or other surface while in use, and you’ll want to check to make sure that it is large enough to accommodate the amount of yarn you want to transform into a ball.

If you’re looking for a more portable option for making center-pull balls of yarn, you should look at nostepinnes instead.
