    I really appreciate the opportunity to see both automated cake/ball winders side by side. The I-cord machine was completely new to me. Including your 3- needle manual version. Thank you for taking the time to show these! Now off to bake myself some cake 🎂.

    Hello Clo. Thank you for showcasing the two items. Although I much prefer the finished yarn cake made with your winder over the barrel cake made with the Caydo winder, the Caydo worked just fine and was superior to hand winding if you were on a tight budget. Thank you also for the advice to "not" wind wool yarn before using it. 👍🏽

    I agree with you. There is something fascinating about watching the I-cord maker do its thing. It's reminiscent to me of when we had a fish tank (and the time I spent watching the fish swim around... and that was all they did 🙂) It is soothing or calming in some odd way. I can see the value for someone who wants/uses a lot of I-cord in their crafting, but I don't so I wouldn't buy this (or want one as a gift). The electric yarn winder was quite unimpressive. Your machine is super, and definitely worth saving up for (though I'm happy enough with my manual winder for the time being). Great video. Thank you!

    Thank you for your review and test of the Caydo winder! I was skeptical about the size and shape of the yarn cake that would be made, but it looks pretty good. I currently use a hand crank one and sometimes find the capacity too small so this would be a nice upgrade.

    Hi Clo thank you for doing the testing I liked the demo intresting to watch and see what everyone else is saying in the comments, the cake winder is still a lot faster than my plastic hand winder and has the added bonus of making large yarn cakes that would be great for my 200gm bobbins of hand spun yarn. The I-cord maker would make doing coasters and hotspots/trivets so much faster

    Thank you for your honest review. Having an electric cake winder is always fun 😉 my little hand crank is fine for small hanks but gets very sloppy at the end… having good tools is the way to go. The I cord maker looks fun too! merci

    Very interesting, thank you for testing it for us. I had never thought of knitting with i-cords because I feel they are so much work to make, but I can see this little machine changing my mind. I have a manual cake maker but I have to admit that by the time I am down with a hank or two, I have shoulder cramps so this machine would be convenient. Thanks for sharing.

    I have a hand crank ball winder and I don't knit professionally so I don't need an electric caker. I often knit two at a time socks, so I will split my skein into two 50 g wound balls by weighing the yarn and hand ball winder, something that I wouldn't be able to do with the electric caker. Thanks for an informative video.

  • @karenalbery2773
    @karenalbery2773 6 днів тому +1

    That was fun and confirms that I am super satisfied with my $15 no brand name manual winder and my wooden table top swift. I knit absolutely every day and most of the yarn does require winding. The only complaint I have is my winder can't handle more than 150 grams. If I have more than that I have to hand wind the last bit. Unless it breaks I don't see a need to upgrade. One time I had to take it apart to reseat the plastic gears but other than a drop of oil it's been working fine for 4 years now. Now the icord gizmo intrigues me . If I could be sure my kid wouldn't trash it and put play dough and whatever thru it I would consider it.

  • @mariecouture7591

    Thank you so much for your 'first socks' video. I have 4 decrease rounds to go, then the grafting, and then my very first sock (and second knitted item ever) will be done! When I got my hand-cranked winder, I was just winding everything into cakes left and right but something automatic would be amazing!

  • @deburban9356
    @deburban9356 4 дні тому

    It’s great to see how tools work before considering purchasing. Even if slow, it’s nice not having to cake yarn with a hand crank winder.

  • @kerryburton9544
    @kerryburton9544 5 днів тому

    I appreciate the time you took when doing this review. Very thorough and informative since I had been considering this as a purchase. I think I would struggle with use of the Caydo winder as my crafting space is not as versatile as yours and my swift is a very inexpensive one which also has to be clamped to the table top, but it would be a game changer for me since I rarely go a day without winding a new cake. I have a manual yarn winder so I am not having to wind by hand, but I also feel that the Caydo winder puts too much tension on the yarn feed which, as you mentioned is not good for the yarn. As a result I shall not be purchasing one of these.
    However, the I cord machine is fabulous! I indulge in some extreme knitting from time to time ( using 24mm knitting needles ) and to do that I either knit with 2 or 3 strands of I cord at the same time. As you can imagine, the time it takes to manually knit 4 stitch I cord long enough to make an extreme knitted item is incredible. I've even been known to knit a 4 stitch I cord using chunky needles and a normal thickness I cord, and then knit the final item.
    So all in all this one product review video has been amazing for me.
    Many, many thanks ❤

    Interesting podcast. I wasn't aware that one shouldn't cake wools too long before using because of stretching and deteriorating issues. Good review, thanks.

  • @alecsgirl
    @alecsgirl 6 днів тому

    This is so interesting! I’ve been curious for awhile on electric ball winders-how they work and if they’re worth the cost. Before I finally broke down and bought a manual ball winder a couple of years ago, I did try to make a drill work. But that was more work and had some tensioning issues, of course.
    Oh my goodness, that is so generous! I just finished watching the video and was thinking the whole time you were using the winder that yours has such a solid and pleasant hum. Very interested in making a cake with an electric winder! Thank you for the informative video!

    @PolarNewfie 3 дні тому

    Hmm, just from the video I like the portability of the Caydo cake winder. Aside from having to take the tension bar off and the bottom clamp it wouldn't be too hard to bring it to retreats or even to local knitting groups, especially since some of us do group orders to save on shipping. This would be great to take so that everyone could wind their hanks while still getting some knit and chat in. I like that it is also USB powered. It uses less power which means you could use a laptop, tablet probably, or a power bank instead of an outlet. Who doesnt love a good cake :)

    My yarn cakes also look like a football, but that is because I do them by hand with a nostepinne. Very meditative, but it takes a long time.
    I love your swift! That is something I need to get. And the ichord maker is fascinating. I have ideas for that one! Thank you for sharing this with us. 🙂

    I do prefer to work from yarn that is in cake form vs ball form just because the cake version stays still better but if one doesn’t own a winder then one either pays for the service or begs a friend. I have been trying to save my money by hand winding full skeins into balls right before use and leftovers get wound using a wooden dowel I have started calling my Nostapin.

    How interesting! Surprisingly I don’t have a table (or similar) to hook any clamp-style device. I do hand wind my yarn into balls (around the knees in my recliner). I first unwind from the skein, looping around my hand. Then I lay this gob on my lap & commence wrapping into a ball creating a center-pull ball.
    The I-cord gadget is something I could/would use! But…clueless how to attach to …something … (hmmm a bookcase comes to mind…)
    Thanks for the input on new yarn-y things! I never thought about creating a rug w I-cord! I’ve been looking at the Cordsmith’s maker, I wonder if they make a 4-stitch-er?? I’ll have to look into that.
    Like I “need” more tools, gadgets, projects…haha

    Very interesting to watch. I, personally, don't care to use any electronics to enhance or speed up my knitting. I like the "handmade" aspects of knitting. I actually had 2 knitting machines. I used to make hats for a well-known company here in Vermont as a contractor. But for my personal use, I enjoy all aspects by hand, including my manual ball winder and swift. I don't have any use for making a single loose icord unless for straps on a market bag, etc, and those are worked into the bag as you knit the bag. As a kid in the 60s, we had 4 nails driven into a used wooden spool to make cords, lol. So, I won't be entering to be fair to others who would like to enter for a chance to win. Thanks for the detailed reviews!

    Thank you for the demonstration and comparison, impressive tools for winding yarn to cakes. I love how they wind effortlessly and so quickly by comparison to my hand winder which is constantly slipping and I have to unwind and rewind taking me nearly 30 min to wind a 100gr. I would love to be in the draw to win the caker, either way I know what I’ll be saving for if I’m not chosen.

I was planning on purchasing the traditional hand winder but I do think the electric one is so much more convenient in making yarn cakes!!! I would love to win the Caydo winder! Merci beaucoup!!

    Thank you for showing us that winder I think it's a little pricey but if you don't want to sit there and roll the ball what do you do right you make those cakes and it makes it so much easier when you put it in a bowl I just came on to your channel I just started watching you and I was hooked you got me hooked thank you for a chance to win I would really appreciate it it would be put to good use I live in a senior citizen disability apartment complex and I would like to get our community stronger so I'm trying to start up a craft area for them to go to but we don't have supplies so if I happen to win it would go to good use thank you very much and good luck everybody

    The cake winder was interesting. Didn’t know there was something like that out there.

    Both items were unique. I did like the cake winder.
