For your serious yarn winding tasks, select the "Jumbo Ball Winder" from Royal. With the extra large hanks available from some of the yarn companies today, especially the hand dyed fibers, this winder is great because it holds a ball up to 500 grams (more than a pound). Its sturdy construction with 2 yarn guides can handle even novelty yarns & fibers like mohair, angora, eyelash, slub & metallic yarns. Made in Japan.
Distance Between the Wings: 10.75" Diameter of Skirt: 8"
Great partner for the Ashford Umbrella Swift, and the two together make a wonderful gift for the avid knitter. For Royal's smaller option, check out the Ball Winder.
