Best For Wool: Olikraft Wooden Ball Making Machine

Buy on Amazon

We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a convenient and appropriate machine. The olikraft wooden ball making machine is exactly that - it's a simple machine that hits all the right notes. The winder / spool, which creates the new ball of yarn, is pretty clever. It is great for loading on hanks of yarn, and it spins freely. The holder has just the right tension to keep the cakes tight, without putting up a fight for the yarn.

The ball winder works smoothly and does a great job but due to the placement of the wire feeder, you can’t make very big cakes. It comes with instruction on how to use. It’s not heavy duty, but strong enough to do the job. It is an affordable option for yarn winding.

• Easy to use, doesn’t come apart or throw the yarn, and is super quick
• Easily & quickly wound balls of yarn
• Excellent for beginners and intermediate users

Best For All Your Yarn needs: LAMXD Ball Winder

Not everyone likes to purchase machine for their regular usage, but the lamxd ball winder would be an anomoly. The yarn winder will hold a Red Heart Super Saver skein with no problems at all. It is easy to use and can support large skeins of yarn. It has a larger (longer) handle and is easier to use (100% easier) and heavier duty. The original one is louder as well due to the gears being made of metal. The winder makes very neat, clean cakes of yarn and holds a large amount. It's actual metal except for the cone and gears.

• Makes winding up yarn really easy
• Consistent results and the yarn cakes up very quickly
• Good brand reputation

It's the perfect size to make yarn cakes with most standard skeins of yarn.

The intaj wooden ball making machine's material feels more premium than its price would suggest. THIS YARN WINDER IS WELL MADE, SOLID WOOD, SMOOTH ACTION AND HANDY NOT BULKY TO USE. The wood that this ball winder is made out of is gorgeous and smooth. Once it is assembled it works beautifully, the glossy finish and wood grain is very pleasing to the eye.

The winder is quiet but creates a little bit of sound that doesn't irritate to any one. It is much more fun than the plastic winders and looks cooler on the shelf. The cakes are a bit airy/loose, but nice. The winder also works very, very well.
