My New Toy

[Julie]

Rick asked what I wanted for Christmas and one of the things I mentioned was a yarn ball winder. My stash will never be the same! It came in the mail today (thank you eBay) and I've been happily winding yarn ever since.

I totally recommend adding one to your collection of gadgets and tools. Not only do they make center-pull skeins from balls of yarn, but it's fun, too.
:D!

its addicting julie.. i swear you will be just winding yarn for a week ..

[Julie]

I'm looking everywhere for yarn to wind (and I don't have to look too far, either). It's hilarious. I think Rick thinks I've gone crazy. :loco

how fun!!:w-sman

Lucky girl! I really want one! Maybe I can whisper in my Mom's ear... :idea my birthday is coming! :hee

[Julie]

You'll be glad to have it Deb. I've been working on all those half-emptied skeins of yarn I was too lazy to wind into balls. And some of those balls are getting re-wound too.

heheh it IS addicting.. and some how its a stress reliever !

[Deb]

I looked and looked in JoAnn's today... and did NOT see one in the store. Is this something I am gonna have to do via mail order? (completely fine with me.. I just wanted one NOW! :D! )

ebay deb...

[Julie]

eBay is probably the cheapest or at least in range with most other sites. Keep it around $25 - $30 and you should be okay.

Michelle:wink

[Julie]

The Royal yarn winder is the one I bought, and you can see several links of folks selling them on eBay here (http://search.ebay.com/yarn-ball-winder_W0QQsokeywordredirectZ1QQfromZR8). :))
