I have this and I LOVE IT!! I bought 2, in case I crochet 2 strands at once to keep them from tangling up. Crocheting is effortless with this. I highly recommend this particular product!
I saw TL Yarn crafts video and saw it all over Instagram so I finally got one and I’m so glad I did. Works very well with my tension. A great purchase as a crocheter.
Sister Friend, this gadget is a game changer! No more inside pull, outside pull, winding the yarn before you can start to crochet, no more fear of breaking my expensive, gifted yarn bowl, no more lugging than bowl everywhere I go. I LOVE this product!!!!!
I picked this up at the Pittsburgh Knit & Crochet festival this past August for $ 25.00. Best.Yarn.Gadget. ever!!!! It does exactly as portrayed on this video. Makes knitting or crocheting a breeze...🧶🧶👍👍
Thanks Alisha, that gadget is cool. Unless you are stuck on center pull. We used to be taught in homemaking class that when using a skein, it's spun to crochet from the center. The mechanics were explained in school, but that was nearly 60 years ago. Supposed to be more sturdy, last longer and it was due to the spin process. I wonder if that was all a gimmick back then or if it's something that's been disproven. The answer to the test question in class was all I cared about back then. But it's stuck with me. And I know those things aren't taught in school anymore. But I do wonder if there was ever a difference. Because now, people think I'm crazy when I mention this.
I've used yarn both ways. I prefer center pull If I'm not using this gadget. Without one, using the yarn from the outside is a disaster. Yarn is rolling & bouncing all over the floor. With the Wool Jeanie & i'm not getting those center pull knots
@@LittlejohnsYarn eliminates yarn barf from center pull, and keeps the yarn off the table or floor! A lot of yarn now, you can't find a clean center pull. I cake mine up, and put a small tube of carboard in the center and work very quickly changing colors on my spindles.
I believe Esty has extra spools for sale & I'm hoping they will make a taller one that can handle those big skeins !! I love mine & couldn't wait to get it after I first saw it !! No more yarn barf !! lol 💕💕
I LOVE how you really pulled on it - I did watch Toni's review as well and now that you have also certified it's worthiness - I may have to invest! I hope you didn't have to much warn mess to clean up afterwards.../😆
You go yarn scientist! I usually center pull but... I am pretty into it. Plus I have to use the outside when color controlling sometimes or for those fuzzy yarns.
Thanks for the great review, might have to have one. Love your videos! Don’t know if you remember me from New Orleans, but it was great to meet you. We met at the bar having dinner the first night.
Thank you for doing this review. It sure seems like this gadget will eliminate having yarn barf and the resulting knotted mess. It would save a lot of time and frustration that comes with some skeins of yarn.
I absolutely love mine!! I just watched your latest on the other with the hook size thing.. I don’t think I will even try that one. Quite happy with one!! Thanks for sharing 🙌🏻🧶
I love it. I crochet with tread spooks and the always give me a head ache trying to pull yarn. I’ve even tried putting it on a wood pant hanger with latch and it just gets stuck. Oh I forgot I tried the stand on it’s own paper towel holder as well. I’m going to get one.
Alison Russell Crochets has a review on her channel. Her assembling the genie is hilarious!!! She also demonstrates using 2 cakes on it at the same time.
I love this idea, now I am going to have to buy one. I watched TL Yarn Crafts review as well and was interested, Thanks for sharing. Do you have a video for the sweater you are wearing I absolutely love it!!
My current solution is a small standalone clear hard plastic tote. (Hobby Lobby) To me, I think it's better than a yarn bowl. It's great when traveling or stopping in the middle of a project. However, this is a game changer. I love this. Free standing, it easily turns, and it looks like winding unused yarn would be simple. - Thank you for showing this. Its amazing. What is your solution, yarn bowl, lap? I started with lap.
I tried to Google it and can't find it. If you're not busy can you email me the link. littlejohnsyarn@gmail.com I don't know if UA-cam will let you post links.
@@LittlejohnsYarn 😊👍 I saw some one on UA-cam using it I asked where it was from or what it was called but she didn’t answer it took me 6 months to find it 😂 I was just about to send you the link but you found it not cheap I know but it’s a small business and their own invention 😊
Um….stupid question . But I don’t sit at a table when crocheting. I often sitting on my bed…will it work if it sits on the bed? Or on the floor next to the bed? Don’t have room on nightstand . Thanks
Hi, I am not very convinced about this product, because I think when we knit, the yarn unrolls too fast. The yarn is vertically and I prefer horizontally. But maybe I will try it some days
That's genius! And so much cheaper than having to buy a yarn swift and baller, not to mention taking up vastly less space. I wouldn't want to have to haul it around various places with me, though. I mean, it wouldn't be so great to use while waiting to see a doctor, for example. Its would have to stay home.
You didn't really test the 300gr yarn ball. What will happen when you reach the smooched part of the ball? I don't think it will turn at all and the yarn will get stuck. But it is a nice gadget anyway.
The 300 gram u put on was just pulling from the center, when you get to it pulling from top to bottom, it is more difficult. But maybe this one sticks out farther from the holder than mine. 🤷🏻♀️
I cake all my yarns, and this device doesn’t work well with cakes. The yarn unravels very easily and it keeps unraveling and unraveling until I stop it myself. Works just fine with skeins though.
@@LittlejohnsYarn Perfect! Thanks for the video as always and a special thanks for reading my nearly incomprehensible/garbled comment. ;-) I think I need an editor!
This is the best comment so far, lol. Thank you for asking. I"m obsessed with plants. My favorite is my "Bubble Gum" Traveling Dude. Plants have weird names
@@LittlejohnsYarn I’ll have to look that one up! I just started collecting plants. So far my favorite ones are my ponytail palm and monstera adansonii.

I totally agree!
I love the idea of using this when working with multiple strands! Two would be worth the cost just to stop the tangles!
I am definitely going to order one of them maybe 2 lol. Thanks so much!
Im getting mine today yay
I will probably order 2 or 3 more😊
Omgosh! Omgosh! Omgosh!
That's the coolest!!!
LOVE your product/gadget reviews! 🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶
Got one recently at a yard sale for a $1 and I’m so excited now!
I saw TL Yarn crafts video and saw it all over Instagram so I finally got one and I’m so glad I did. Works very well with my tension. A great purchase as a crocheter.
I'm so glad I saw her video too. Best purchase

We're yarn scientists. I love it! 😂 And you're so delightful and funny. We need you!
We are, lol. Thank you so much Anna
I bought one 4 months ago and love it. By the way you can fit 2 cakes of yarn on it. Very strong magnet. ❤️❤️
I want one!!! Thanks for the review, especially with the heavier skein.
Thanks!
It looks like a cool gadget -cry of the want bird -I want one too!
I need this maybe I'll put it on my christmas list
This is money well spent, I bought one a few months ago, best craft idea.

I LOVE how you really pulled on it - I did watch Toni's review as well and now that you have also certified it's worthiness - I may have to invest! I hope you didn't have to much warn mess to clean up afterwards.../😆

Thank you for doing that review. I expected that to be a lot more. I like to get a couple of those as well because I use multiple colors.
You go yarn scientist! I usually center pull but... I am pretty into it. Plus I have to use the outside when color controlling sometimes or for those fuzzy yarns.
Now on my Christmas list!
Thanks!

Great review looks like like it will work well. Just wounder how long the magnet will last. Thanks for sharing with us 👍👍❤️💚💜💛
It's a pretty cool gadget. I googled (in general) how long do magnets last, 700 yrs to lose half it strength, lol. They should sponsor me, lol

What are tread spooks?
I have one and love mine! 💗
Just bought one. Thanks. Love your reviews
You're very welcome, Deb.
You are so cute! Thanks!
Thank you Dimples 😊

Genuis!
Good 🌹 video 📸😊
Going to get it
Love your jumper. What is the pattern to make it? Thank you

WOW I've got to get this !
It is super cool.
I've been using this with a 226gram skein with no problem
Awesome 😊

I absolutely love your top.. did u crochet it and have a tutorial for it?
💜🫶💜🫶💜
You can also sit it on the round disc instead of using the magnetic and it will spin for larger yarn.
Good to know - thank you !! 💕💕
Very nice gadget. Kind of costly.
You need to try the twizzer I love mine I got it from urban yarns , crochet anywhere 😊
I tried to Google it and can't find it. If you're not busy can you email me the link. littlejohnsyarn@gmail.com I don't know if UA-cam will let you post links.
@@LittlejohnsYarn erm maybe because it’s called Tribe yarns 😁🤣sorry ps you can Hang it on your exercise bike or whatever and just carry on crocheting
@@Carolakapiewacket I couldn't find tribe yarn either when I googled. I'll keep an eye out if I ever see it
Found it!!!!!

Super
Thank you
PLEASE tell me about the top you are wearing in this video and if there is a pattern ? It’s beautiful!
I have, I love, but bulky yarns don’t fit until you use some of the skein, the big bulky skeins.
Does it work with cakes of yarn?
Absolutely!
How sturdy is this I got kids/cat/kitten
Um….stupid question . But I don’t sit at a table when crocheting. I often sitting on my bed…will it work if it sits on the bed? Or on the floor next to the bed? Don’t have room on nightstand . Thanks
Gostaria de comprar uns dois, como adquirir? 😍

I take mine when I am traveling. No problem at all.
I want to see a tutorial for the top your wearing please
I wonder if it still works when the ball or skein gets down to half the amount of yarn or say 3/4 of the yarn is gone.
Have one and it is great. Works to the end.
Yes
You didn't really test the 300gr yarn ball. What will happen when you reach the smooched part of the ball? I don't think it will turn at all and the yarn will get stuck. But it is a nice gadget anyway.
My only question is, is the magnet secure? Like if you accidentally knock it over, will the magnet come off?
I wonder how well this would work with a circular knitting machine?
Yeah, I would buy this. Too bad it's sold out on their website. I found one on Amazon but was $59.00 😮
Hi so this will not work for center pull yarn.
This looks amazing. My only worry is that my cat might think it is a toy for her. 😸
The 300 gram u put on was just pulling from the center, when you get to it pulling from top to bottom, it is more difficult. But maybe this one sticks out farther from the holder than mine. 🤷🏻♀️
I realized that after watching the video back. The yarn was easily wrapped around the center. It wasn't pulling from top and bottom🥴
I cake all my yarns, and this device doesn’t work well with cakes. The yarn unravels very easily and it keeps unraveling and unraveling until I stop it myself. Works just fine with skeins though.
I cake all my yarns, too, and have had no problems whatsoever using them on this.
Has anyone tried this when the devoceisbt at the same level as their hands? I tend to have the yarn on the floor or when I crochet.
So far I have used it on the floor and table, and it works great
