Mixed yarn anyone?

[swapnae]

Has anyone read this article on turning your hand mixer into a yarn winder? Can be done!!!

What an original idea that person had!

I saw that, interesting. I have a hand mixer but haven't tried it yet, usually I just wind by hand using a toilet tissue tube and it really doesn't take all that long.

 

I might try it just to see if I can get it to work.

Very ingenious! I have an extra hand mixer lying around that I could devote to winding yarn...and TONS of toilet paper tubes (with 4 out of 6 people using TP...)

Brilliant....I have some skeins to wind up and I will definitely try this idea. I will probably get it all wound up on myself but we will see...
