Like many other reviewers it took a bit to figure out how to make this work. Here’s the trick: open all the hooks, hook the yarn under the first hook, then BEHIND the second hook, under the third hook, and BEHIND the fourth hook. From there let each hook catch the yarn. The instructions tell you this but it’s easy to overlook that the yarn starts out behind the second and fourth hook and it’s not obvious it should work that way. I am using it to turn lace weight cashmere yarn into bulky yarn. So far so good!

One of the silver things does not work right. The one there 3 are good but this one does go up and down like it is to. The little lever that is to go flap. Gets stuck behind the hook. Been working with it on different thickness yarn and it does it with all of them. The one in the pic is #3. Which is what is called for. Need idea or help if anyone else has ran into this? Will change my review if I get help and this starts working right.

This machine makes a beautiful i-cord once you get the knack of getting it started. There are YouTube videos that explain how to use it, which I found more helpful than the printed instructions. I would add to the instructions that after you grab the yarn onto the hooks, watch the next round very carefully and make sure that the first loop pulls all the way up and over the second loop-use the included crochet hook to pull it over if needed, otherwise you’ll have a spinning mess of yarn and no cord. Once the beginning rounds are done, it is happy spinning and an i-cord that would have taken hours on dpns is done in minutes!

If I didn't already own a Sentro-type circular knitting machine, I think it would have taken me much longer to figure this i-cord maker out. But once I did have it sorted, this little thing is awesome. Youtube helped get me started, but the video showed that the cord was started for a few rows before the bottom weight was put on. I tried this, and it made an unholy tangled mess. So then I put the weight on the tail from the beginning, and really ratcheted down the tension on the feeder yarn. It sounds like I'm about to break the thing for the first couple of rows but then it settles down and you can ease off the tension a little. Makes for a nice clean start to your cord. This was using Caron Simply Soft, and that's about as thick a yarn as I would go on this device (so Red Heart is a no-go). I'm keen to try it out with some sock- or fingering- weight yarn. I'm excited to add cording to my projects to make them look more finished and sturdy. It cost almost as much as my Sentro, but for practicality and useability, I can say that it definitely adds value to my makes.

Like another review i read for this product, i have purchased the purple one and i cannot make it work, so i decided to spend a little more to see if there's any difference. I notice the quality of the machine is a lot more sturdy and i didn't have any trouble making it to work.

The i-cord knitter is very easy to start, little harder to take off to finish off but it gets easy to do once you understand how to put on & put it off.What I have tested with it so far:--Embroidery floss thread works pretty well, but be gentle since it can spilt an mess as you wind it up any thread you use for cross stitching, etc can work too, my guess since they are similar--Sugar n Cream doesn't work well since it spilts easily and get stuck--Loop & Thread Impeccable (weight 4) works well, came out clean, long as you don't use weight attached to it, if you use weight attached it will make lot clicking sensation as you wind it up, which is risky, so its best to manually tug the tail downward--Paton sports #2 doesn't work well, because its too fuzzy--Red Heart Classic thread Works very well, very smooth to wind upIts best to use any fiber & yarn type long as it isn't fuzzy or easily to split or has weird bumps included.I'll recommend to use any yarns weight #3 and under, if you want to risk it, you can use weight 4 WITHOUT weight attached to other end, I have no problem with weight 4 so far.I'll keep on using lucet double fork for thicker yarns or fuzzy, bumpy yarns.It is very nice to have something that is pretty well made for i-cord making that goes kind of fast. But who know how long it will actually last with frequent uses. If it breaks before 2023 is up then I'll update info here.Just one con... I am not fan of using plastic for crafting. But I'll suck it up for now and see how it goes.

I already had another brand of I-cord maker (purple) and wanted to know if this one is designed better as I plan to make a lot of I-cord. It is indeed a better tool! I found that I can use thicker yarn - from light fingering up to (smooth) worsted/aran weight; it starts more easily; the weight is easier to move up as work progresses; I can put it down mid-project and it stands up; and its a nicer shape to hold. Here is what I have learned to make good I-cord every time with these things:1. Just feed the yarn through the loop, over the top and down the center then attach the weight - you don't need any fancy knots/sewing needles etc.2. Make sure all 4 hooks are open, and the yarn coming off your skein is loose. Start with the weight supported on a table or your lap.3. Very slow turn the handle so first hook grabs yarn and closes, stop turning as the yarn reaches second hook and nudge the yarn behind the hook. Repeat for the next 2 hooks only, and lift the tool so you start to feel the weight pulling a little. (In the first round, you only catch yarn inside hooks 1 & 3; nudge the yarn behind the hooks 2 & 4).4. Keep turning, as you lift up the tool to let the weight dangle straight down - after 2-3 cranks you can start going faster.Make sure the work coming out is always weighted and hanging down. Make sure the yarn coming in is very loose - you'll hear the "tick-tick-tick" change to clacking if the yarn has any tension on it.The Tulip I-cord maker is a few bucks more than the other brand, but is better quality and better design - much more useful to me so I'm glad I bought it.
