Here is an idea that I do that may help someone out..... I purchased a wooden t.v. tray (cheap at Walmart) and mounted my Stanwood cake winder to it. This way I can leave my winder mounted, but move it around with me. It works great for me. Thanks for showing this. I could spend an hour watching yarn caking as it is so relaxing. 😊
i have tray to eat on when watching tv n i never thought of doing that thanks for the tip
I also use a TV tray to cake my yarn because you can move the table anywhere in your house/apt.
What a great idea! 🙏
I remember, back in the 60's, holding my mothers hank as she wound it.
Thank You so much for showing us how to work with a Hank! Enjoyed watching the whole process of winding that Hank!
I can’t live without my ball winder. Thank you Crystal.
When I was a teenager, my mother use to have me hold out my arms and she would put the yarn around them and wind the yarn into a ball.
Great tutorial, Crystal!
Mine did too,loved spending that time with her. Wish she was still here ,so I could share my yarn love with her!
As a child I held my arms out for my grannie to wind balls manually. You could get a good rhythm going between the "human swift" and the "human winder", there was a knack of moving your arms (maybe the hands more than the arms) so that the wool flowed smoothly and complemented the movements of the one doing the winding. The balls my grannie wound were so neat and regular. If I ever have to wind a ball because of yarn barf, it is nowhere near as neat. I guess that in the past most yarn was sold as hanks, so hand winding was a regularly-used skill.
I have a query about centre-pull yarns, perhaps someone can help me out? I get the impression that centre-pull is very popular now, especially in the USA (maybe that's a reflection on the nationality of many UA-camrs, and the current popularity of cake-style yarn) but I don't think it is so prevalent in the UK. I have only tried it once, knitting a shawl from a colour gradient cake yarn, and I didn't really enjoy the experience. I found the yarn was inclined to get twisted as I knitted and kind of tightened up the ply. Also, as the cake was used up from the centre it started to get messy - I found myself having to use a rubber band or a hair scrunchie to hold it together so that it didn't collapse into a barfy mess. Maybe I'm missing something, but working from the outside to inside just seems more natural and a much tidier way of working. Is centre-pull just a current novelty or fad that will pass? I am open to being persuaded if anyone can explain any benefits. I realise with graduated colours or ombre yarns that you might wish to start with the inside colour, but I think I would rather rewind the cake to get my starting colour on the outside.
This has ended up a much longer comment than I intended, so if you are still reading thank you for your patience, and I would be interested to hear the views of others.
@@elainemacdonald6541 I think that the center pull is here to stay. In the USA they recently came out with O'Go made by Red ♥️ Heart yarn. It's not supposed to tangle at all.
@@elainemacdonald6541 I think that center pull yarn is here to stay in the USA. There also is a yarn in the round that is never supposed to get tangled. It's O'GO and it's made by Red ♥️ Heart yarn.
@@judylake8464 Thank you for taking the time to reply. I wouldn't refuse to use centre-pull if it was yarn I really wanted, but maybe I am stuck in my ways for preferring the more traditional "start outside and work inwards" approach.
I was one of those people who was leery of buying hanks because I didn't know what to do with them. Thank you, Crystal, for showing us what the hank even looks like after the label is removed! And I appreciate seeing the tools you have so I know what the heck I need to save up to buy, lol! Invaluable information, as usual. You are priceless, literally, Crystal. This is just another example of why your channel is my favourite ❤. See ya at the next vid. ~Carolyn
So satisfying watching the hank being turned into a cake 😊
Great info, ty kindly.
This was a great tutorial especially for those who have not seen a hank being caked before or a swift. I love to use my winder and tend to use it when I am working on a project and the skein has a lot of knots for some reason or after finishing a project and I want to keep the yarn contained so I can use it easily for another project. It is such a relaxing activity and makes me smile every time I cake some yarn! I have an Amish tabletop swift but I would like to get an umbrella swift . It just takes a lot of space to use but it is lovely. Thanks again for the tutorial, Crystal!
Same😁
This made me smile. I remember being a little girl and being my mom's "swift" and sitting on the floor or next to her on the couch holding her yarn as she would roll it into balls. Thanks for the memory! 😁✌
This was my technique until my "arms" didn't like it anymore. I wind it from my upside down ottoman legs now. Wish I could hug you 😊❤ now!!! This was great.
After I watched you do this the last time I bought a swift, I also got a Stanwood but it was cheaper buying direct from Stanwood. I already cake my skeins, and now I can buy hanks too! Thanks for showing it again. ❤️ You're the best!
My Grandmother always had hanks of yarn. She would open it up. I would hold my arms out and she put the yarn around my wrists. She would start winding it into a ball and I would move my arms slightly right to left and she was winding the ball. I loved doing that for her and I have done several of them during my youth. Thanks for showing this to us and thanks for bringing up some beloved memories of time with my Grandma.
I wish I had known a year ago what a swift was, I would love to get back the one I gave away, which was my my mother’s who had just passed. I could really use that now! She had a lot of fabulous yarn in hanks in her stash that I received and I’ve been trying to use up.
She was a knitter, I am a crocheter, and a fairly new one at that. Just 5 years or so. I just started learning Tunisian crochet as well, which works well with the finer yarns.I, like you, find it difficult to crochet with a fine yarn and small hooks. With Tunisian crochet, it’s easier!
Hi Crystal. This was a very interesting tutorial. In all my years i have never seen any of this done before. Thank you for showing us.
Ahhh I remember many many years ago my Grandad holding hanks of yarn around his wrists and my Grandmom balling up the yarn…thanks for bringing that memory alive for me Crystal.Great tutorial…thank you 🧶❤️
Love my Stanwood. Couldn't live without it.
Hi Crystal, Thank You so much for sharing this. I’ve yet to buy a Hank of yarn. Now I know how to cake it. 😃💖
This is an awesome tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to teach us how to do this.
I love my large ball winder, it’s like that one just not Stanwood. Should last a lifetime! ⚓️💙
Thank you, Crystal! Have a nice day! 💞
Wow! I have seen many videos of you with hanks of yarn and talking about making it into a cake but have never seen it done before. Thank you so much for sharing how to do this.
I love my ball winder. Can’t do without it.
Love your tip regarding not winding yarn until your ready to use it. I never thought about the yarn stretching out and maybe not bouncing back to original.
that is too neat! honestly too fun to play! I can tell why Mr. BOD loves to cake it! it's too much fun! Thank you for showing us ! it could be a destressor too!
That was so therapeutic to watch! I could do this as a relaxation session! 😊
That stood to know about the yarn stretching. Thanks Crystal!
This is SO helpful Crystal. Thank you!! Always thinking outside the box when teaching us 💜🇬🇧
I love this and I even cake up my skeins of yarn to make them easier to use the center pull. I put them in my barn bowl and never really have to fiddle with yarn. It makes it so much easier when working on a project.
I am one of those who stayed away from buying hanks because of that. I didn't realize you had to use the ball-wonder with a swift. Great to know. Thanks, Crystal. 🙂
My mom use to have us kids ",help" her, we would hold yarn wide with our hands and she would wrap I in a ball, with 7 of us she always found someone willing to help
Thank you Mrs. Crystal for this! I had no idea that caking stretches the yarn...I will definitely wait now to cake up my yarn. Thank you!
Thanks for this tutorial. I wondered how a swift and winder worked. Thanks Crystal.
Thank you for showing us how to cake yarn .
I recently bought a swift and a winder and it’s easily my favorite thing to do now. It’s so relaxing just watching it spin! And I love the little cakes once they’re done 😍
That was so satisfying to watch 😍! I actually bought those items from the marketplace on Facebook about two weeks ago for like $45 for both!! And last week I bought a knitting machine for $50 from the same place!! I think they were good priced!! I saved a ton I think lol ☺️
You make it lookso easy. I'm definitely going to get one of each. I stay away from Hanks. But not no more. Thank you Crystal forshowing how to turn a Hank into a cake.
Thank you for the great demonstration of how to wind up a cake of yarn. 😊👍
Going to check into getting one. Thank you for sharing. 😊👍
Thanks Crystal! I knew how it was done but never saw it being done live. Very informative 🧶💕
When i was little i used to have to hold the hank up with my hands and my aunt would make a ball of yarn. Thats how it was done in the seventies in sweden anyway. Love your videos, stay safe.
Thank you very much for showing how to cake your hank's.
Hello Crystal, so much fun. I do it for fun. Most of my yarns are cakes now. Enjoy working it up. Have a nice day!
Thanks for this tutorial! My swift is a table-top model, but I loved getting them working!
Thank you for showing that technique. I’ve been needing to learn it!!!
Thanks for sharing, Crystal!! Have a good night!!!
Thank you for showing us Crystal.
Hi Crystal!🤗 I just LOVE ALL the educational content that you share on your channel. I have learned SO MUCH from you and am eternally grateful.🤗
Thank You for showing us how to use the winder⚘❤🌼🌻
Again thank you. I received some Hanks in a mystery box and did not have a clue!!
Thank you Crystal for showing how to use the hank. It's awesome. I so need to buy one of those. I put mine in plastic containers and it take for ever. Lol
I love using my yarn winder. To me it is so relaxing.
Thank you for this video. I have a winder but not a swifter. Somewhere down the road I hope to get one. I remember my aunt making us kids sit on the sofa with our arms straight out to hold the yarns while she balled them up lol. Wow memories!
Oh wow that's great, really easy to. I never knew that they sold that item. Thank you for sharing with us on how that item works.
I did not like hanks until I saw a video like this. I have an Amish swift and a smaller yarn winder. Now I likecand look for hanks. This is a great video for those who avoid hanks
Hi Crystal! I don't have either of these tools but I totally enjoyed learning how they work. Thank you. Have a great day 💕
Okay, this was way cool! Thank you Crystal.... I bought two hanks months ago and I was afraid to open them!
this is so cool, its sound like a train love that sound
Thank you Crystal, I was just gifted a ball winder but I don't have the other gadget. Now I know for sure how to do this because I am one of those who have purchased a hank or 2 in my lifetime and got frustrated trying to figure out how to work with them never realizing this is what you need to do. We learn new things every day and now I might not hesitate to buy yarn in hank form.
Thanks for this tutorial Crystal!! It answered a lot of questions for me. ❤️🥰❤️
Pucker up.
I have always wondered how to use a hank, so thank you so much for this video. It's true, I've never bought one because I didn't know what to do with it, so this was quite enlightening!
Thank you so much for this video! The first hank of hand dyed yarn ended up a tangled mess, I didn’t even know it had multiple ties lol
Thanks , Crystal , for doing this video . I did not know you could use the winder for skeins . That is a tip that would help me greatly . Love and Hugs .
Oooo that looked easy. Spent more than hour rolling into a ball with niece holding yarn on her arms. It was stressful for both of us and very tiring for her. Later I found a little shop to do it for me on their winder. Since then I have purchased one at Hobby Lobby but have not used it much. Yes I have also stayed away from hanks.
Thank you for showing everyone this! i know i learned stuff...
Hi Crystal! Very informative video. Sure is a faster way of doing it! My mom would've loved having something like this back when she made her balls of yarn. I remember she knit the warmest mittens,and sweaters.❤
You must be reading my mind there were hanks of yarn that I really liked but couldn't figure out how to turn them into a ball now a days. The only thing I could remember were flash backs, putting the hank around a chair and winding into a ball manually and that was something I never wanted to do again. Thank you for showing us how to get it done the "modern" way.🥰🥰🥰❤❤And, thank you for recommending a system to use.
I love to cake up my yarn when I am done with a project. I really don't like having little balls of yarn rolling around, so I cake them. I also received yarn through donation and most of it was without labels. I had no idea how old the yarn was, so I caked it up...which helped remove yarn barf and make it useable...it was in really bad condition prior to it being caked up. Thank you for sharing, this is great info for everyone who loves yarn.
Sweeeeeet!! I've never seen that done before. 👍😀😀
Thank you Crystal, for the demonstration and recommendations.🤗🤗
Thank you sooo much I have a winder and a boat load of beautiful hand dyed yarns , now I know where I went wrong lol xx
Great demo Crystal 🌍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🌍
I’m a beginner and my neighbor donated a hank of yarn and I finally learned how to make a center pull cake…thanks to you. I did it with my knees like you showed me and it looks great. It’s perfect, now my yarn isn’t rolling everywhere or collapsing🤣🤣. Thanks for sharing🙏🏻
That was so interesting. Thank you, Crystal. ♥️
THANKS THANKS THANKS!!!!! and that is quite ZEN! mezmerizing! relaxing!
Best investment ever ❤ highly recommend !!! The cakes fit in yarn bowls too. That make your crochet or knitting project easier and more enjoyable experience.
Thank you for sharing! I hav e ever seen how you would wind a ball out of a hank. Thanks for the tip about leaving it in a hank until ready to use.
I LOVE my Stanwood cake winder!!! I don't have a swift, but the back of my baby's highchair works just fine! lol
I'm so glad you put this tutorial on. Such good information. I didn't know you needed to wait to cake hanks. Thank you so much!
That's cool! I will have to get one so I can buy some hanks!! Thank you for sharing!!
Great advice on caking yarn 🧶
Loved this tutorial. Thank you for sharing this my friend. 👍😊
It was from you that I learned of the existence of cakes, and got a yarn ball winder. That was a big step for getting back into crochet since winding balls was difficult for me those decades ago. Recently I was introduced to the use of a lazy susan as an easy fix for gradated-color cakes that I wanted to work from outside to center. (Such a 'duh', once I heard of it 🥴) Next on my wish list is a swift.😉
Great video Crystal. Just what I needed!!!!
That is awesome! I've never seen that equipment before. How helpful!
Thanks Crystal for this tutorial. I just brought a ball winder from Amazon. Now I know how to use it 🤭
Another great information filled video, Crystal. Thank you so much. 🤟💜🧶
Thank you, Crystal! 💞💞
You have a lot more patience than I do. I really struggle with hanks and the machines to put them in a cake. I avoid hanks for that reason and I know I am missing out! Although I have bought hanks and rolled them in a ball but they were bought for a very special project for a special person.
Thank you so much for this video!!!! I just bought a winder from hobby lobby and have just been staring at it. 😆 I was thinking to have my hubby stand there and hold it while I wind. Now I'll tell him he can do that or buy me a swift.
Thank you so much for this video. I have learned so much this has helped me out tremendously.. thank you for sharing all of your knowledge with us you are truly a blessing to us in the crochet community have a beautiful day
Hi Crytal, Thank you for all the awesome videos and giveaways.. I'm overwhelemed by all you do. keep up the good work , we love you and your video instructions. I have made several things from your tutorials. Love love love :)
Thank you for making this video Crystal! SOOO satisfying to watch 😍👌👍❤
Thank you so much for this video I have all the supplies to cake up my yarn was afraid and didn’t have the know how. You rock 👍🏾🧶🙋🏾♀️
That was great, it explained alot about the swiffer and its use.
Yay! This is such a timely video. I’ve been wanting to buy a yarn ball 🧶 winder, but didn’t know where to begin. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I now can't wait to start winding! I hope my set is good. As u said I got mine at Knit picks. And thank you fir the heads up about using it right away. I never knew!!! Crystal. You out did yourself!!!
Thank you Crystal for such a great tutorial
Hey Crystal.
Thanks for sharing.
I put the hank over my knees and hand ball it.
Some day... 👍😊💛🏵
That is a nice winder! Works beautifully. Checking out the end results.
Happy yarning.
Thanks so much for showing us how to do this 😊
Well that method sures beats mine! Upside down, 3 legged milking stool. LOL! I wind center pull balls, but I sure have become fond of cakes. Thanks, Crystal. This was cool to watch.
That was the coolest videos I’ve seen you do, Crystal. Love it.
I love my Stanwood Yarn winder. I have the 10 oz one. I also purchased the Stanwood tabletop Amish Swift.
I don't cake my hanks until I am ready to use them. I will cake my yarn leftover in a skein because it keeps them from getting tangled and it also makes them easier to store.
