If you need an Ostrich Egg caked up, and you want to do it yourself, there's no better tool than the Lacis Jumbo Ball Winder. I had this tool when I owned my yarn shop, so I used it often. This beauty can wind hanks that are 10+ ounces and will produce a center or outer pull for your crafting.
Pair this Jumbo Ball Winder with a Large Umbrella Yarn Swift and you will be skeining up your yarn like a pro.
This hand-crank winder clamps to a table, the same as a standard winder, just built to a bigger scale.
Setting it up
Clamp it to the table, seat the cone on the base, and fit the yarn guide onto its mount. Pull the guide out until it locks into place.
Feed the yarn through the guide, wrap it around the top of the cone, and turn the handle clockwise.
Let the yarn come off the skein with no tension on it, from a swift or a helper's hands. That is what gives you an even cake.
In the box
Winder body, cone, yarn guide, yarn guide mount, two swing arms and instructions. The gear box is covered.
Questions we get
What are the swing arms for? They hold the yarn guide out at the right distance from the cone as the cake builds.
