Quality time with my ball winder...


I spent some quality time with my ball winder last night and loved the way the yarn looked all rolled , so I had to post it. Most if it is for the women in my class, who would otherwise wind by hand (Keep in mind all the taupe/tan yarn is cobweb weight acrylic - can you imagine how long that would take by hand?) However the 7 skeins of sock yarn to the far left are for me. This will keep me in yarn for quite a while!

Happy Knitting!!

I love a good ball winder session. At the shop I work at, we have an electric one and it is AMAZING.

I love my ball winder and just love the way the little yarn cakes look all wound up. Looks like you've got some great yarns to choose from.

sometimes I get crazed and want to wind all my balls of yarn to match :) I love the look of the little yarn cake :)

No matter how much I use my ballwinder it will always, always amaze me. I could probably work in a yarn store just to sit and wind peoples yarn alone.

yay for ballwinders! EZ says always roll them loose or your garment will shrink.... (just read that today).
