 You get what you pay forMar 10, 2010
I have used a lot of different ball winders. The price is low. It is noisy.
It has no strength to pull yarn off a swift. So you will have to unwind the yarn in order for it to wind. Also if you need to unknit a project. I suppose by having this feature it is impossible to burn out the motor. If you are a handspinner and wish to wind off your bobbins on a Kate, it does a decent job.
If you are hoping this tool will save you time. It won't... There are hand winding models available that will most likely outlive this one and money better spent.

I just got the Boye Yarn Ball Winder by Simplicity and I love it!
I am a "travel" crocheter and knitter and I am always having my yarn skeins fall down the train or plane aisles! It is so frustrating. This machine works great winding my yarn skeins so I do not have to spend so much time untangling. Thank you Simplicity!
I recommend getting comfortable with the machine by starting on a low speed at first. Mine seems to be lasting well.
From,
Happy Customer :)

 Better than I thought it would be.Jan 03, 2010
My dear friend knew that I was receiving a yarn swift for Christmas and purchased the Boye electric ball winder to go with it. I did not think this was going to work well, but it did a good job. I still had to babysit the yarn to make sure the ball was not wound too tight. I am not sure how long this will last. It is all or mostly plastic and it will be interesting to see how long it will hold up.
I will try to let the ball winder work faster next time to see how tightly it winds at a faster speed. Then I will amend this review.
I would recommend this if you can get it on sale.
