...like an electric ball winder!
Here is a dark picture of my yarn swift and my electric ball winder. This was Dave's Valentine gift to me when we were dating! Actually he gave me a Joann's gift card and this is what I used it for. Skeined yarn needs to be wound into a ball before it can be knitted. If it is a small skein, I can hold it on my knees or usually talk Dave into holding it on his hands while I wind it with my hand crank winder. I put large or fuzzy/grippy skeins on my swift. If they unwind nicely, I use my hand crank winder but if I have to untangle and separate while winding, I use my electric one and feed the yarn.
I'm currently on ball 3 of my Zen Yarn Garden for my Crocus Blanket. Each skein has 400+ yard but it looks like so much more once it's wound into a ball!
