What is you preference for yarn winders. I am thing about purchasing one. Hi Dennis, I'd definitely go for a winder with a bigger capacity next time if I can afford it. My current one really only winds a about 50g per ball and I prefer to work from larger balls. That said the larger winders are significantly more expensive. I guess like so many things you buy the best you can afford and that you get what you pay for. My winder holds the ball upright, but I've seen winders that operate in a "horizontal" position - I don't know how these two arrangements compare, can anyone comment? VP |

VP Hi Dennis I agree with Vintage Purls. I have a regular upright ball winder. See link below http://tinyurl.com/2heamy Sometimes I think I could use one with a larger capacity. Last night I was winding heavier wool for felting and it doesn't take long to wind it to capacity. Shelagh |

Hugs to you both, Dennis |
