A sweet lady gave me two garbage bags full of yarn that she didn’t want anymore. So when I seen the bags I thought my arm is going to look like Popeye’s arm. Either that or it’s going to be so sore I won’t be able to move for two months. So I bought this winder. It’s so awesome!!!! Don’t think about it just buy it!!!! It’s surprisingly put together well it’s metal not plastic. There’s a couple things that are plastic but the majority is metal. I wasn’t expecting that I really thought it would all be plastic. I have no complaints!!!

I was loaned a lesser version that kept getting the yarn caught in the gears & wound much smaller sized balls. This winder functions flawlessly, did not need the constant attention, & produced a much larger ball. Great ptiduct!

Can be tricky to use but it does do what it was created for. It was easy to set up.

Mine arrived damaged the soldered metal links were already broken apart upon inspection. I actually used electrical tape to attach the metal links that were already broken. Then proceeded to wind up 11 hanks. Of course now I can’t fold the swift up, to store it away cuz then I’d have to remove the supporting electrical tape on the damaged links. If I wasn’t so inclined to wind up my yarn hanks, I would’ve just immediately returned it w/out giving it reconstruction. I will be keeping it as the ball winder is great for winding 2 different colored cakes into 1. I will be replacing the swift with a quality wooden one, because obviously the tape will eventually fail. My suggestion is if you aren’t handy enough to fix it, don’t buy this one.

I'm comparing my Knit Picks brand yarn winder, the purple one, to this INMAKER yarn winder, the pink one. First of all, the size difference is obvious. After spinning a skein of identical yarn (but different color) on each winder, the INNMAKER still had plenty of room to keep going while the Knit Picks winder was pretty much at capacity. For reference, the yarn was sport weigh, 2.5 oz, 230 yards. The resulting yarn cakes were similar size and spun equally well, with INNMAKER cake showing slightly closer tracking of the yarn and a slightly more compact cake. I like the all-metal construction and the larger table clamp, which allows me to slide the unit farther in from the edge of the table. I cannot use my Knit Pick winder on any beveled or rounded edge because the clamp is not large enough to extend past the edge.INMAKER • yarn feeds from behind • larger capacity • frame and working components are metal, yarn core and platform are plastic • large tabletop clamp • unit does not hang off edge of table • yarn core rotates on a single plane while the inner yarn guide whirls the yarn around the coreKnit Picks • yarn feeds from the left side • lesser capacity • hidden working components, unknown construction, visually the unit appears to be mostly plastic • small tabletop clamp • cannot clamp to tables that have beveled edges • yarn core rotates and changes tilt while the single yarn guide stays stationary

This ball winder like any ball winder if you've ever used one does require a bit of a learning curve to figure out the tension that needs to be held onto the yarn and the speed to go to ensure the ball is wound tightly enough to hold but not so tight, it'll stretch the yarn. I absolutely love how much yarn it can wind in one go. I have a much smaller ball winder thinking that 4 oz was plenty and would do just fine. That is not the case. Most of my skins are bigger than 4 oz. And turns out I had made a mistake. I got this one to replace that and I was not disappointed. I can wind any traditional size yarn that I believe are typically about 7 oz with no struggles whatsoever. The yarn pictured above was actually A 10.5 oz. Skein that I had used a small bit of. I'm not sure the total weight of what I ended up winding but as you can see it fit with no problems. This is so much better than having half worked floppy skeins all over the place. It adds a touch of Elegance and makes everything appear more organized

This ball winder is pretty great. I've used some very fancy ball winders and this works just like those. It really holds a LOT of yarn, great for hand spinners when you don't know how much yarn you have and don't want to split it into several balls when winding. Holds the counter tightly and the parts look like they will hold up for a long time. It's a bit off balance when turning the handle, which is why it's four stars. But once you get the winder going fast, you hardly notice. If you want to wind your yarn into a ball quickly, this will work great for you.Recommended.
