Yarn Winder Electric, Auto Compact Cake Winding for Knitting Lovers

I have seen this anywhere between TikTok and right here on Amazon and I finally bit the bullet and bought it. It does take a little practice to get it down the way that you want it to but it's really not as bad as some has made it out to be in some reviews. I have owned this for over a month now and it takes less time for me to wind almost a full 482 yd skein of worsted weight yarn into a cake then it would originally take maybe double the time with double the cakes. It is a little loud depending on the speed. It does move a little bit again depending on the speed but as long as you have it secured onto a flat surface you should be fine. It was incredibly easy to put together. Far as functionality, I've learned that if you hold lightly onto your yarn as it's being fed through the winder almost kind of like a guide it helps make the tension tighter on the winder itself to help get a much tighter cake. Also once it's completely done, and you remove it from the ball winder you may be left with a rather large hole in the middle all you have to do is work it a little bit and you can't even tell the difference. I absolutely love this! It has helped me out so much especially since I have quite a large yarn stash. I highly recommend it for anyone who has issues as far as mobility goes with your hands especially if you have been crocheting for over 20 years like I have lol. I would absolutely buy this again if I had to. The price point is a little high but again it is well worth it.

this product works as well as descripted and is such an amazing tool that makes things easier. it can make pretty big rolls of yarn and it manages tangles pretty well. 10/10 would recommend.

This little thing is genuinely life changing, I used to spend 6+ hours making ONE measly ball of yarn. Now it takes less than half an hour. Now it is not fully automatic in a way that you can leave it running with supervision, you have to hold the roll of yarn and continuously flip it around like a dead fish motion but this takes literally no effort and can be done while listening to an audiobook or watching a show. Overall I would give this six stars for how much time I’m saving WELL worth the price.

This yarn winder works great for average-sized skeins and is a huge time saver. It’s stable and easy to use, and I had no issues at all—at first. Unfortunately, it doesn’t hold up well with frequent or high-volume use. After about three months of heavy usage, the motor started to wear out and struggled to wind a full skein. Despite its short lifespan, I keep coming back to it because it still outperforms any hand winder I’ve tried. Just know that it’s best suited for occasional use. I also tried the larger capacity version hoping it would handle bigger skeins better, but it was a disappointment—extremely loud, constantly got stuck, and didn’t work at all for my needs. I ended up returning it. If you’re a casual user, this winder is a great tool. Just be aware of its limitations if you’re winding yarn frequently or in large quantities.

I love this thing! Goodbye to those hand cranked ones. This yarn spinner is AMAZING. I made 31 yarn cakes this weekend because it’s just that easy (and honestly kind of addictive). The best part? No yarn swift needed! It winds smoothly, is super simple to use, and makes the whole process so much more enjoyable. I couldn’t be happier with it!

The Etcokei Electric Yarn Winder has completely transformed my crafting routine! The ease of use is fantastic I simply clip it to a table, thread the yarn, and let it do the work. No more manual winding or tangled skeins! The quality is excellent, featuring dual spring tension control that ensures smooth, even winding without knots or snags. The adjustable speed lets me customize the pace, making it perfect for different yarn types. For the price, it’s a great value, offering efficient performance at an affordable cost. Since getting this, I no longer need the craft store to wind my yarn. I can do it quickly and effortlessly at home. If you need a reliable yarn winder that saves time and effort, this one is a fantastic choice! Highly recommended for crocheters, knitters, and fiber artists!

It works perfectly! The cake of yarn it makes turned out great and tangle free. Going to make all of my yarns into cakes. It made a standard size worsted weight yarn the entire skein. I don’t think it could handle larger though.

Love this thing! It struggles a little bit and you have to be very quick to catch any big knots so it doesn’t jam and break but overall is the best electric winder be tried! Highly recommended!

Me encanta. La verdad tengo muchos hilos, me dedico a tejer mucho y esto me ayuda cuando las hilazas se van usando y quedan deformes. Es rápida aunque hace un poco de ruido, la tensión que tiene es buena y si se atora el estambre se queda pausada sin estropear la tensión. No ví que tenía que estar siempre conectada para que funcione así que hay que tener en cuenta un enchufe disponible en la mesa de trabajo para la máquina.

Loved that it’s electric & very easy to assemble however cannot use in my country without purchasing a plug adapter to power it. Not mentioned on listing that the power plug may not be compatible with all countries ie Australia. Cannot use to see how it performs until I buy an adapter to convert it.

Used it only once for now and with a rustic yarn and I'm really satisfied with the results. It seems like it took a little longer than with a manuel yarn winder but the result is much better.

Excelente calidad y funcionamiento Facil de armar y utilizar. Los resultados son perfectos y aunque vale más que una devanadora manual, vale más la pena que se haga solito

Very easy to use. I liked it.
