Frequently Asked Questions on Yarn Ball Winders

A yarn ball winder is worth the investment for regular crafters. It saves significant time, creates tangle-free center-pull cakes, and prevents yarn waste. What takes 10-15 minutes by hand requires only seconds with a winder, allowing you to spend more time on your actual projects instead of preparation.

What to use instead of a yarn winder?

Without a yarn winder, you can use household items as alternatives. A paper towel tube works as a basic nostepinne—hold it in one hand while wrapping yarn around it with the other.

Some crafters use a kitchen mixer with a dough hook at low speed or wind around a chair back in a figure-eight pattern. These methods typically create traditional balls rather than center-pull cakes and take longer.

What is the difference between a yarn winder and a swift?

A yarn winder creates neat, center-pull cakes from loose yarn while a swift holds hanks or skeins in an open position as they unwind. Think of a swift as the "holder" that rotates freely as yarn is pulled, while a winder is the "transformer" that shapes yarn into usable cakes. They serve complementary functions—the swift prevents tangles during unwinding while the winder creates a convenient form for crafting.

Should you roll a skein of yarn into a ball?

Whether to roll a skein depends on its format and your preferences. Pre-wound skeins from major manufacturers are typically ready to use, but hand-dyed yarns sold in hanks must be wound before use to prevent tangles.

Many crafters prefer to wind even ready-to-use skeins because center-pull cakes don't roll away during use, allow you to check for knots beforehand, and stack neatly for storage.
