Knitters Pride Mega Wool Winder - Unboxing & Demonstration 

I just bought myself one of these as a “self care” gift to myself. I am awaiting its delivery and I can’t wait!! Thank you for your very helpful video and I will comment again when i finally receive and use it…

I cannot tel you satisfying I find winding my yarn into balls using my little wool winder. 🧶

You are so giddy. Thumbs up to Mr. Stitches

Cute ball winder. Way to go Mr Institches!

My husband bought me a winder last Christmas. I absolute love it! My yarn stores on and in shelving so very nicely! My husband and I wind my yarn together....its our "new excitement " lol Im in awe with every skein my husband diligently untangles and winds into a cake! 😉😉🤣 we have a fun time winding yarn together ❤ Enjoy Jayda and Mr. Institches!

Oh happy day! 🌞

You'll be able to make your own caron cakes from leftover yarn Jayda. It would be an interesting challenge to try and make one of these. Hardware store, here I come.

Mr in stitches has earned a big hug with this one

Wow love the wool winder..👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

A yarn winder is so great!! I have a small yarn winder and I use a cardboard tube from the center of a toilet tissue roll. Then place it over the spindle of the winder. So you are winding the yarn on the tube. You pull off the tube along with your yarn. I think when you use a larger winder you can slide the cardboard tube from a paper towel roll. I find this makes the roll of yard sturdy for storage.

You nailed it! Mr InStitches. Husband of the Year nomination for you!

Oh I LOVE this!😍 I see this being at the TOP of my list for Santa!🎄🎅

That would be me! Giggling and be all excited! I want one!

Yup.nice holding yarn when winding to tighten cake up so it is not to loose for storage/shelving and once you remove it from cone yarn will relax.

Happy Be-lated Birthday!!! Enjoy your lovely ball winder! It is a awesome and very much needed tool. I purchased the Heavy Duty Ball Winder from Nancy's Knit Knacks many years ago and I love it very much. I also own the Royal ball winder (which is no longer manufactured that I know of) and I love and use it for travel. BJ

You are ADORKABLE!!! Good job Mr. Institches!!!

This is a great yarn ball winder unboxing and demonstration.

Miss Institched, thank-you for overdosing on the caffeine this morning, it's nice to see you so "perky"! Keep up the great product/project demonstrations. My problem is the double crochet stitch. I'm la lefty and I crochet backwards (left to right) and in my 50 + years of crocheting, I've ALWAYS gotten the "pruney" contorted face expression from people when I ask them to show me how to do it correctly. It causes me to feel like I was made from all defective parts from the unmarked "junk box". I've stopped asking for help long ago, and, on 50+ years of crocheting, I still can only do the chain and single stitches. I forgot to mention that I'm a guy. 57 years old, and, have been homeless for about 30 years due to getting thrown out with the trash by family, schools, churches and jobs. If you could help me with this matter, that would be great, and, if not-no problem. Doug

my mum had a yarn winder 40 yrs ago..I still have it and its not that big!. still works the same though.. Im surprized you havent seen the small versions of that Jayda? they're great too but more compact ..Good job on mr stitches for thinking of his lovely wife though.. have fun winding

Your delight is the universal response for everyone when they first get a yarn winder! LOL When I got my first winder, I was like a kid in a candy shop! Winding anything I could get my hands on. LOL I actually have two of these mega wool winders: one multi colored like yours and one in the natural wood color. I got mine at such incredible deals, which is why I have two. My husband was so impressed with the workmanship when I brought it home. He spent twenty minutes examining and admiring it. LOL A note: you want to tension the yarn, ever so slightly, by running it through your left hand before it goes through the feeder loop. That will make it wind tighter (not such a bouncy cake like you had) but that also means you can wind a larger skein and it means the cake will hold together much better. Too loose means the cake won't hold up as well. Also, if you hold the yarn up, slightly above the feeder loop, it'll sit the cake lower on the spool so it won't pop off the top. Also, I highly recommend actually clamping it to the table. That will stabilize it more which will give you a more consistent wind. I know these winders are more pricey but they are SO worth it! Incredible. They will last for years and years! I can't highly recommend it enough to anyone who wants the only winder they will ever need.

I love that winder! As I am getting older the arthritis in my hands gets worse. Thus would help so much.

That looks so satisfying and therapeutic! Much better than winding them by hand!

Oh my goodness! So quick and easy! Great gift Mr. Institches! Enjoy Jayda!

That looks like so much fun!!

I just got one of these winders for my birthday!! Its exactly like yours.

I got a Stanwood winder from my family for my birthday a couple of years ago. It's not as big or fancy as this but I love it. I get lots of partial skeins from thrift stores etc. And this works great to make them easy to work with.

Hello Ms Jayda the yarn winder was just awesome thank you for sharing 😍👍💖👏 happy crocheting everybody and bless everyone 💖

Happy Belated birthday Jayda. I've been quite busy this summer n falling behind on my favorite shows. My birthday was the 7th. My hubby bought me new cakes of yarn in bright colors. Love getting yarn. Can never have too much I ususally say but I however have so much yarn..lol

OMG!! That is such a lovely gift!! Thank you for sharing with us!!!

Happy belated birthday! It is so cool that you call your husband "Mr. stitches", it shows how you love, respect and complete one another!!!

Thank you so much for showing us your Birthday gift. The man in my life asked me what I wanted for my birthday it was a coin toss between a furls hook or this beautiful winder. The winder won... now I'm just waiting for it to show up in the mail.

Hi Jayda, I thank you for sharing your beautiful gift from your sweet Mr. in stitches. Now I need to throw hints to my sweet hubby. I have been looking to see what winder I want. I really like this one you got it looks easy enough to work with. Thanks again Jayda

Your happiness is adorable ! That smile is the best thank you to Mr. Instiches.

Mr. Stitches did good giving you this wonderful gift. Can't wait for you to make him his socks with the sock yarn.

I just got mine in today!! Rewatching this video before I get to playing with it! Bought it because of this review.❤❤❤

I just wanted to mention that if you are winding a cake of yarn from a frogged project and it's all wiggly and wonky (like it gets after being crocheted or knitted into a project) you can add tension by guiding the yarn with your hand before it enters the metal eye so that you can get a little tighter wound cake to straighten out the wiggly frogged yarn. Then when you go to use the yarn cake later your yarn comes out much straighter and easier to work with. I love your signature version of the wool winder. The colors are so beautiful!

I love this product! I received it for mother's day and everything is neatly "caked".

Am I the only one that thinks this is super satisfying?!

How fun was this video!! I very much enjoyed this review!!!

That is a nice yarn winder. I have never seen a large winder, makes it nice to wind big skeins

I just got myself a small yarn winder. The 3rd roll I did was a dark color and I had trouble finding the inside end. My son suggested I tie a contrasting color on the end before I start winding, so I did that and it does make things easier. I've read the other suggestions too and have written them down so I can remember to incorporate them as they will make everything SO much easier.

That’s a lovely gift. So colorful and useful! 💕 I have a ball winder but I haven’t used it in years. I wind my cakes by hand, and my kids think the center pull yarn sticking up is a candle in the cake! 🎂

I got one not as fancy from Amazon a few months ago and I love it! Now I use it for all of my non cake skeins and make them into cakes with the winder. I find the yarn comes out more smoothly when working it and with far less tangling issues. Especially for the Caron one pound skeins which I always had issues with in the past.

So glad you got a yarn winder! I have one myself, a tad different though, but still same results. I didn't think I needed one until I tried it the first time......now I don't know how I lived without it! Have a great weekend!

Hi jayda congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉

The one I have is small and doesn't have a band that has to be removed. Mine I got on Amazon for around $15.00 and made of plastic. The advantage of using a winder is like you said it doesn't stretch your yarn but it also doesn't crush your yarn like when you roll in a ball of yarn crushing the center. They are stackable and if you tuck in the outside end, they doesn't unravel as easy as a ball of yarn does.

Your video is so much fun, Jayda! I love the yarn winder so much that I think I'll start dropping hints for my birthday too! Enjoy every minute you spend with yours and thanks for the great video!🥰

Seeing ur excitement was wonderful. When I got my ball winder. I was up at night winding up any and every ball. For projects I was going to do. Lol e joy. Thay are worth it. A must have for crafters.

I've wanted a yarn bowl & yarn winder, but, on a fixed income that will be impossible. Happy for you, Jayda. I will be enjoying watching you use it.

Hi Jayda You will love this I have a different on. Ilove mine enjoy it

Hi Jayda. Thanks so much for this video. I wondered how that winder work. I really enjoyed watching the video. I'm so glad you have an outstanding husband to buy you things like that and I'm glad your willing to make a tutorial video on something i believe is so neat. Thanks again for all you do and God bless you both. Enjoy...looking forward to more learning videos...o yeah I love those beads you had around your neck...well everything you were is so cute on you. Well thanks again and have a wonderful day.

Yarn winders are the best! I just got one for my birthday as well and it has really helped keep my leftover yarn together when I use a lot of a certain color.

Fun fun fun!!

Mr. In Stitches, you did very well!🤗🤗. Thanks for the demonstration Jayda! I think this calls for the purchase of a few hanks, lol! No Swift? No problem! Have Mr. In Stitches hold the yarn! 😂😂. I have an Amish Swift because my tables are so thick! I have an electric ball winder but I’m looking for a manual one as well. This may just be the one! Thanks for sharing!

What a great birthday present! Love the yarn color as well!

Thank you sooooooo much Jayda, love you xxx

Love this!! You are adorable!

I can feel my whole life is getting better!! 😂 🙏🧵🧶

My real name is Jada too (just spelled differently), so I find it so funny how both of our excitement levels were about the same for our winders lol.

Wow... That's fabulous. Love that the hole in the middle is big enough that you could roll up lable and put there to ID it.

A quick tip: if you hold the yarn strand while you're winding (hold it next to the metal yarn feeder), it winds tighter with less chance of coming undone/falling over on the shelf.

That is sooo cool! 😊

Very cool! Doesn't take much to make us crocheters happy! Thanks for the demo!

Glad your so happy. And the winder is awesome.😉

Now that is a major winder!

Its absolutely beautiful. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for and wanting!!! Enjoy it!!

I have a yarn winder, and I love it. When I got it I rewound everything, lol.

I love it! Great job Mr. Institches on gift choice!

Lovely gift! Happy Birthday Jayda! Blessings!!!!! 💜💜

I have found with my yarn winder that if you hold a little tension on the feeding yarn, the 'cake' you are winding will hold up better and not be so loose. Also, the yarn label or a toilet paper roll can me rolled and inserted in the middle of your 'new' cake. i usually secure the outside end of the yarn with a piece of tape so it does not unwind. i have two winders that are smaller than yours so i am limited in the size of the new skeins i can make. I got a great deal on one of them. i love the size of yours, it looks like you can make a pretty nice sized cake. Good luck with it jayda! mr. institches needs a high five on a good gift!

Too cool! I have a smaller one, and love it. But yours is the size I had been looking for. Fabulous! And yes they are so therapeutic. Empty toilet paper rolls are great to put on the winder first, and wrap the yarn around them. They add extra stability especially for smaller cakes.

I have a cheap one from Amazon that I've had for three years. I love caking skeins because they require less space to store. That's a nice one!

Finally! The video we have been waiting for.Happy birthday Jayda! Yes, it is so mesmerizing, very much like a SpiroGraph. I loved that thing as a kid. I loved it so much I even programmed a simple PC version of SpiroGraph myself years later, as an exercise in programming with Delphi.

That’s so cool 😎 I want one!

JAYDA You are such a good salesgirl! I have had my eye on a ball winder EVERYTIME I go to Hobby Lobby, it calls my name...SAAAANNNDDDYYYYYYY....OK I'm sold, I'm going to get one today. At my local yarn shop, the owner has balls of yarn that she wound up and they look sooooo pretty, just like the one in your video. It almost looks like a totally different fiber. I have so many floppy skeins of yarn AND tightly wound BALLS of yarn, this ball winder will solve my problem. I want you to know that you have a GREAT BIG FAN in Chicago!

looks great. Have a great a great day and God bless you and your family

Love you BIG ball winder! I've had mine for a couple of years. It really helps when the inside pull from a skein gets tangled and needs to be rewound.

Happy belated birthday! Love this, will have to look into getting one. Love to keep my yarn neat.

I have a small one, but now I want a big one. Lol Thank you for sharing!

Oh my gosh! That is sooo nifty! Deffinately on my want list!

Well now I really want one of these! So cool!

Sweet!!! I'm so happy for you...that is so cool. My daughter gave me a bunch of yarn she had spun up...they stack so Pretty☺ thank you for sharing Jayda...have fun and be blessed🌻

I love the fact that u can make your own cakes 🤗

Awesome birthday gift from your husband. I am sure it will get a lot of use. I wish someone would surprise me with something like that. Have a great day. Rosanna

Ooo! I want one! That is so neat! Thanks for sharing! Yes!... what fun!

It is so much fun to watch you get a kick out of such a nifty gadget! I have a yarn winder and I love it. Most of the yarn I buy comes in skeins and I HATE SKEINS ! Oh, I've heard all the excuses for selling yarn in skeins but it boils down to laziness on the maker's part. I bought (expensive ! ) yarn in Ireland as a a souvenir and I'm so mad at it now from wrestling it out of the stupid skein and winding it into a ball that I may never touch it again.

love my ball winder

Happy birthday,we love you so much 😘😘😘😘🌹❤️💞💞💝❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌻🌹🌻😍😘

I have a wool winder (not that one). I find it helpful to tie a contrasting piece of yarn to the yarn you put in the slot, as I have lost that end in the ball, and that little contrasting bit helps me find it. (If like me, you prefer to pull from the middle). Have a peaceful day.😊.

thank you! That cake of yarn is so pretty.

Lol what a cute informative video. You always make me smile.

That just looks like so much fun...it would keep my busy for days lol

Happy Birthday !! Or belated birthday ... that's a wonderful gift that ur husband bought u awesome have fun

That is awesome! I too like a center pull.

Finally! You have a ball winder I'm so happy for you. I got one about in march and I'm absolutely in love with it. It is from knit picks. I have been searching for this video if yours and now I found it. Btw I'm 11 years and i also crochet. I do all sorts of things Crochet Knit Cross stitch Sewing Embordery

Hi Jayda, I have a small ball winder that is nice but I could use a big one for the larger skiens. After seeing your demonstration now I really need to get a larger one. Thanks you for your time on this demonstration. I will be putting this on my upcoming Christmas list.

Oooh, I want a yarn winder like yours! I have a Lacis Jumbo winder, and in winding a 14 oz. cone of Lily Sugar and Cream, the whole cone can't be wound into one cake, because the outer part of the yarn cake hits the swing arms, and eventually prevents movement, plus the cake sits on the base, and the yarn will wind under the base, making it difficult to pull the cake off of the winding spindle. Live & learn, right? Your yarn winder has no swing arms, and the yarn cake doesn't sit on the base, so I'll bet it could handle one entire cone! Thank you to both you and Mr. Stitches for demonstrating this wonderful machine!!

You having to much fun . 😊😊😊😊😊😊

Your winder is so much cooler than mine, love it and thanks for sharing 😊

Great job , and great gift mr in stitches , he's a keeper jayda 😊Amanda xx
