## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this price for Real????**
A: You cannot buy a Rolls Royce and expect to pay Kia prices. Yes, the price is for real, and IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY, especially if you wind more than one skein of yarn a year.

**Q: How many times does the winder go around per crank? i'm trying to determine if the NKK is more efficient than the ball winder i have now.**
A: More info from the manufacturer: The other thing that makes our ball winder unique is the power and leverage of the handle and gear system. By using positively engaged  gears as opposed to belts, we get no slippage. The handle is special because of its size and shape. The ball end allows you to transfer energy while gripping it from various angles. Winding yarn on our HDBW is like driving a luxury sedan compared to driving an underpowered 1965 VW bug when you comare it to the plastic winders. Plus, you can easily ad a motor drive. It is the only ballwinder in the World that can be used in that manner. Manual or electric , it doesn't matter, it is the finest ball winder system available. Try it and you will see!

**Q: Would i be able to wind 6 ply jute on this by chance?**
A: I can wind a one pound skein of knitting worsted and it all just about fits. I don’t know the volume of the jute so I’m not sure and the jute would have to fit thru the wire ‘bail’ that guides the yarn as it winds. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

**Q: how much yarn can the winder with a cone adaptation handle?  I need a solution to hold a sweater's worth in one go--1300 to 1700 yards in dk.**
A: I have used it to wind approximately 1,200 yards in dk. It might go bigger. I found the larger pull ball was easily tangled when I got to the yarn on the outside because the diameter was so large.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely the Cadillac of Yarn Ball winders
*by M***S on February 28, 2014*

I Have already gone through 3 of those plastic yarn ball winders. The gears keeping breaking in them sooner or later. They are noisy with an annoying clicking sound as well.This Yarn Ball winder (although it is a little bit too pricey in my opinion) is wonderful. First of all, it is hand crafted in the USA.It's almost all made of wood and the craftsman did an excellent job. The pieces are are so well sanded, finished off to feel really smooth in your hands. The wheel turns effortlessly, and hardly makes a sound. The gears are metal and will last almost forever. Every part on it is so well constructed compared to the plastic. kind. Plus, you have more options on it as for tension , size ball, and where you wish the tension arm to be located. The clamps for attaching it to the table will not brake off like the plastic ones do, and once it is on it doesn't loosen until you take it off.My yarn room is in a cabin and this yarn ball winder fits right into the decor.It's sooo attractive, I don't even have to take it down and put it away.I know the price is higher then most, but believe you me, if you purchase one of these, you will never ever have to buy a junky plastic one again. The money you spend on all those junky plastic ones you could have bought this one and hand it down to your children some day.If you do a lot of crocheting or knitting and need to make balls or cones instead of struggling with all those knots. (I have no patience for them grr)Then this is the one for you!!!!!!! I love mine!!!!!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautifully made. Heavy duty
*by C***. on February 1, 2018*

Beautifully made. Heavy duty. There is a learning curve that I have not completely mastered. Sometimes I have trouble getting the ball started. Balls can look lopsided. Sometimes the yarn wraps over or under the ball. It is adjustable but I don't have the knack yet.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Happy to have made the Leap!
*by I***E on March 14, 2016*

Wow! I had no idea what a difference having a "professional" ball winder was going to make to my attitude about winding center pull skeins. It is so much easier. For years I lived with the plastic one that was constantly giving me problems. I had trouble with it "jumping" off of the surface I clamped it to, it was very grimy from years of use, and sometimes the yarn escaped from the ball and created a few warps above or below the wound ball.My first reaction was it's BIG! and it is. Very little assembly was required -- I had to attached the hand crank and fasten the screws to the clamps. Then I had to insert the post that guides the yarn to the center post the holds the wound ball. I directly attached the yarn to my swift and started to turn. So nice not to have those little weeny wrist movements and instead have big sweeping turns using your whole arm. Winds in a lot less cranks and is capable of making very large balls.Live it up! This will last your entire knitting career and is worth the investment.
