I've just got one of these, how did I live without it?! If there were a Nobel prize for services to fiber arts - the inventor should win it. My cat (Monica) sits mesmerized by it instead of attacking my yarn which is invariably on the floor. x
My son got the wool jeanie for me for Christmas. I love it!! It really works great! I use it on crochet thread and yarn cakes and skeins. Keeps the yarn from tangling and getting dirty. And it keeps the yarn away from my cat!
I've seen a different review and they only tried smaller yarn. I love how you smashed a skein of yarn to fit it. I might just be getting one of these. Great review!!
I received one for Christmas.. it is pretty slick! I placed this yarn feeder about 5 feet away from my chair, and it spun all of the yarn, all the way down to the last 12"!!! I only had minor issues with it, and it never tangled or made me cuss at the yarn! 🫣 I was soooo impressed! 👏🏼👏🏼
I have had mine for ages , and was using it when I watched your video, If using outside yarn it is amazing, runs smoothly , its on a level with me, so my dog cant drool all over it, he loves yarn !!!! He thinks he is pretty smart, but he cant crochet. Thank you for sharing. Regards from London
This is a game changer. I’ve had my wool Jeanie for several months now and I honestly don’t know how I got by without it. My only niggle with it is that any big skein 200g and over is a bit too heavy for it.
I've gotten 2 of these so far (I get mine off Etsy) and will probably buy more spindles! If you get your fingers into the skein and kind of pull and wiggle a bit it will shorten the skein and they fit a bit better. I really want one that takes full skeins though!! My biggest surprise is that you are only now seeing this! Best thing since sliced bread!!
I bought my first one at yarn festival last summer. Loved it so much that I bought a second one as well as an additional spindle. I wish I had found this years ago.
I purchased one of these a number of months ago and also got an extra spindle, and I LOVE IT!!!! Makes using round balls and skeins a breeze. Beats having to keep pulling out yarn all of the time. Definitely worth getting.
@@kimbo500 No, I wanted a second one so I wouldn't have to take my yarn off to put a second color on. All I would have to do is just put the second spindle on and be ready to go.
Thank you Mikey I have needed some different than a yarn bowl. I don't ljkd the line or thd holes on the bowls ive seen or used. I have a skein winder for Nice Yarn Cakes, this product would be fantastic!!!❤
I never purchased a yarn bowl before, just used an old Rubbermaid square plastic container for years! I always wondered about the line/holes on those bowls! 🫢 I think the Wool Jeanie is more my cup of tea. I hope so at least - I just ordered one from the UK yesterday.
This tool is great for "cake" yarns. For the regular skeins, and especially the Caron One Pound, I use a regular single spindle paper towel holder (the kind that sits on your kitchen counter). Just push the yarn skein down on the spindle and you can easily draw the yarn from the outside of the skein.
@@kimbo500 I use them so I don't have to change different colors all the time. It's easy to use an extra spindle and not have to change yarn when you need to change yarn color.
Mikey, I actually met another UA-cam content creator that makes a Bobbin yarn holder. It is absolutely beautiful!. All those Bobbin yarns that we all purchased from Premier, yep, it is the best! Now don’t get me wrong, I’d get this one for my cakes and skeins, but those Bobbin yarns, I’ve got a beauty of a yarn holder!
I was just thinking (wishing) yesterday that someone should invent this and….voilà! I can never find the center strand in most skeins and what I get is a mess! So I looked for it and bought it.
Omg Mikey, I just ordered this! It’s what I needed for a long time! Thank you ❤❤❤ Edit: I love my wool genie, plus now I have a second magnetic pole which is great for my mosaic crochet I’m doing at present. I have actually popped the bottom out and put the pole that is not being used on the bottom plate. So happy you did this review ❤😘❤
where can i order one? i live in norway so i cannot get it from a regular yarn store,does amazon have it? or some other store that ship over seas? Hugs from a new subscriber from norway. Bless you all
Please tell me what is the difference between this wool Genie and a spinflr yarn feeder?? Is rhere something better than the wood ones on ball bearings?? Help??? Thank you in advance.

OMG how did I not know these existed? I don't think I've ever ordered anything as fast in my life-thank you!
Mikey, thank God for you! I'm ashamed to admit that I couldn't make heads or tails of these assembly instructions but you've made it so easy!
I LOVE MY WOOL JEANIE!
Total game changer.
Yes I love mine, I use my winder to re wind a bigger ball into a cake. Lovely when you buy a product that actually works 🧶
What do you think of this tool?
This is soo cool! I like it!
Best yarn tool I have ever bought!
Wow what an awesome product. Glad you showed how easy it is to put together and use. Will be getting one of these. Thank you
I love how your work table is as messy as mine. Just how I like it.
I have a yarn sofa- one side for my butt and the other for my clutter. I can't work without clutter, it's just not right. 😂
My son got the wool jeanie for me for Christmas. I love it!! It really works great! I use it on crochet thread and yarn cakes and skeins. Keeps the yarn from tangling and getting dirty. And it keeps the yarn away from my cat!
I definitely like that option, must hide my yarn in the closet from my cats, although only one is the trouble maker.
You gave clear instructions. Thank you
That’s a neat gadget! Thanks for showing it to us.
I just got one too and love it! So smooth!❤
So glad to hear you like yours!!
I've seen a different review and they only tried smaller yarn. I love how you smashed a skein of yarn to fit it. I might just be getting one of these. Great review!!

I have one. bought myself a holiday present last year. I love it. Now I can work from outside to in without having to rewind a ball
I received one for Christmas.. it is pretty slick! I placed this yarn feeder about 5 feet away from my chair, and it spun all of the yarn, all the way down to the last 12"!!! I only had minor issues with it, and it never tangled or made me cuss at the yarn! 🫣 I was soooo impressed! 👏🏼👏🏼
but I have never figured out how to attach a brand new skein that's tightly wound from the inside out. 🤷🏻♀️ so I don't use mine as much.
Had mine for years,love it
Thank you! Just received mine today and definitely needed your video for the assembly. ❤
❤❤❤
Thank you for showing instructions, I thought I put it together wrong😊
I have had mine for ages , and was using it when I watched your video, If using outside yarn it is amazing, runs smoothly , its on a level with me, so my dog cant drool all over it, he loves yarn !!!! He thinks he is pretty smart, but he cant crochet. Thank you for sharing. Regards from London
I had never saw that before. I just came across it. That is very cool. Won’t have to dig inside the skein got the end. Yayyyyy
Well it definitely has me convinced! Off to buy one now 🤩
Thanks for the great video. Mine works great!!
Thank you Mikey. Your instructions and demonstration was great. It looks very nice.
This is a game changer. I’ve had my wool Jeanie for several months now and I honestly don’t know how I got by without it. My only niggle with it is that any big skein 200g and over is a bit too heavy for it.
Thank you so much!! Got mine today. :)
How cool is that!
Looks great and straight forward to put together thank you for sharing this mikey 👍Amanda xx💕

Great demo I will need to look for one.
I have wanted one for years. But I just found one in the states so maybe I will revisit the thought.😊
After watching your unboxing video I was in love with the yarn feeder and bought one for myself 😅 I can’t wait to try it out!
I LOVE my Wool Genie! Best tool ever!
I purchased one of these a number of months ago and also got an extra spindle, and I LOVE IT!!!! Makes using round balls and skeins a breeze. Beats having to keep pulling out yarn all of the time. Definitely worth getting.
Glad to hear you like yours! Do you mind me asking, did you just buy an extra spindle in case the initial one breaks or something?
@@kimbo500 No, I wanted a second one so I wouldn't have to take my yarn off to put a second color on. All I would have to do is just put the second spindle on and be ready to go.
Oh man, that is slick! Love it!
I’ve had one for over a year. I LOVE IT!

Ooh! I like. This will be extra great when I am using size 10 cotton. I need one.
I think it's great!!!Will have to get one thanks so much😊❤❤
I just got one of these. Excited to put it to use. It looks like it will make it a lot stressful to crochet or knit. No fussing w/the yarn.
I love mine! I wish it held larger skeins though. :) Thanks for the review.
I have 3 of these absolutely love them ...❤
Your desk looks like my desk and room currently.❤
Love it Amazon you say okdoky thanks!
Cool! Have to check it out. Thanks Mikey!!
That looks cool
Looks great! Now if only I could find one to buy!
When working with two colors, I put the cakes one on top of the other and it works perfectly 👌.
I love the wool Jeanie I have 3 of them I use them everyday saves chasing my yarns across the floor lol
I've had one for a while now, and it's helpful when I can't find a center pull!
I think this might just have to be a very near future purchase. Thanks Mikey.
This tool is great for "cake" yarns. For the regular skeins, and especially the Caron One Pound, I use a regular single spindle paper towel holder (the kind that sits on your kitchen counter). Just push the yarn skein down on the spindle and you can easily draw the yarn from the outside of the skein.
Great idea!
I have 3 and use them daily.. I have extra spindles❤❤❤
What are the extra spindles for?
@@kimbo500 I use them so I don't have to change different colors all the time. It's easy to use an extra spindle and not have to change yarn when you need to change yarn color.
Love it got have 1
I want one of those.😊
wow I've got to have one of those!!!

I have two with 4 spindles winding into a cake and go go go
I love mine.
My cat would love it 😅
I love mine so much that I have 2 of them.
Me too!
I love mines ❤
Try placing 2 to 3 small yarn cakes vertically on the holder.
I was just thinking (wishing) yesterday that someone should invent this and….voilà! I can never find the center strand in most skeins and what I get is a mess! So I looked for it and bought it.
I got one a few days ago. Llama momma Kayla suggested it.
I need one😂!
Here's to JoAnn's carrying it soon. 🤞
The, Yahoo! Thanks! perfect -talk to you soon. 💥
I want one
I can't find this product on Amazon. Can you please put the link? 🙏🏼
Omg Mikey, I just ordered this! It’s what I needed for a long time! Thank you ❤❤❤

I’m just winding my own balls - but this gadget is cool
Does it only work with outside pull, no center pull?
No centre pull.
Please tell me what is the difference between this wool Genie and a spinflr yarn feeder?? Is rhere something better than the wood ones on ball bearings?? Help??? Thank you in advance.
I haven't heard of the other one you mentioned. So I am unsure.
Usually use Bernat Blanket yarn. I been winning hanks, think it will work on hanks, please?
Nice!! Where did you order it from?
I found it on Amazon. Wool Jeanie.
Would this work for a cone of Lily Sugar & Cream or similar cone?
I don't have a cone here to try that on. I think it could be a bit heavy but that's a guess.
Better then a yarn bowl?
To my point of view, superior to a yarn bowl.
Price?
Looks great but I am hesitant to pay so much.
🍀 promo sm
Has anyone purchased and used this regularly?
Yes
I have been using it for a few weeks now. It is a great tool, can't go without it now.
