FOUND: Yarn Winder

[CatsCradleCreations]

Okay; I thought I was going to be able to do the electric mixer thing, but after the haul I made yesterday (most of which is STILL in my van) I realize that I really NEED a yarn winder at this point.

 

I'm willing to pay for one, new or used is fine with me as long as it works. I have a lot of yarn here for charity work that I'd like to make into little cakes for easier shipping. If you can help, please post here or PM me.

You can find them cheaper on ebay

I just got one from an eBay seller. $32.00 plus $6.00 shippng. That's the cheapest I've found. Waiting for a better deal by bidding just seems like too much of a waste of time. Got it from twilightmemories1, using BIN. I've spent the last two days cleaning up my zillion hand-wound balls of yarn, and getting some ready to sell. Finally bringing some order out of the chaos. Love my winder!

I got mine for fairly cheap when Joanns was running one of their coupon specials.

Joanns is selling one online here:

and I have a 50% of coupon I'm pretty sure you can use. With shipping and tax, the total comes out to $33. If you want to spend that much let me know and I'll gladly give you the code.

Thanks for all the replies; I don't think I want to spend $30+ on a winder. I'm going to have to wait a bit and look around, I guess.

I got one here: Knitting and Sewing Supplies from Cara Bernhauser. Scroll down about 1/3 of the page. She sells an economy winder for $19.95. The shipping makes it $29, but is a better deal than I have found anywhere else. It works great for personal home use. I've balled up a bunch of yarns with it and have no complaints.

 

HTH!

I've been using my juicer as a yarn winder. Its blade is removeable and then it has a long stick thing that yarn spools can be put on. I've been looking for a source of spools to hold the yarn. I have one that held ribbon.
