And as anyone who buys hand-dyed yarn knows, it more often than not comes in hanks, which look deceptively easy to wind. And as anyone who has tried to wind yarn by hand from a hank knows, what one can look at and think "hmm, this will take me 15 minutes to do!" will, without any rhyme or reason and despite one's best efforts, always inevitably turn into an inexplicable mess of knots and tangles that has you, even an hour later, cursing yourself for thinking winding the yarn would be a pleasant or easy task. That was the situation I found myself in several weeks ago, when a pair of lovely skeins of yarn I had thought would take just a few minutes to wind had turned into a few hours worth of work and had involved cutting the yarn, several times, because the more I attempted to untangle it the more that the fibers felted together, making it look like a stringy, raggedy mess before I even got to work with it. My precious cashmere blend, turning into nasty little felt rings! I had previously researched a yarn winder while under severe duress from the same misguided task several years ago (I never learn), but at the time, all of the available options were several hundred dollars in price-- a justifiable purchase for a yarn store who winds skeins as a customer courtesy, perhaps, but not for me, a lowly home knitter on a budget. However, when this time I looked, I happened across this listing for the LAMXD Yarn Ball Winder. Though I wondered how effective a yarn winder for such an inexpensive price could be, I looked at my growing collection of unwound hanks (many bought on clearance when my friendly local yarn store went on clearance as the owner retired, much to my despair), did some mental math, and decided that if, even if I only found function from the umbrella yarn holder attachment and needed to wind by hand, the savings in keeping my blood pressure down from no longer needing to stop every few minutes to untangle things would be well worth it. I can say with utter certainty, however, that, dozen of wound yarn balls later, this is one of the best purchases I have ever made. In the span of an hour (how long it would take me on average to wind, untangle, wind, untangle more, cut the yarn apart and then tie it together and continue to wind it, untangle (you get the deal)) a single skein of yarn, I am able to painlessly wind four or five, with a single hand, while reading. In the span of an afternoon, I had managed to wind my backlog of almost two-dozen skeins of yarn, all of which now sit neatly in my stash, awaiting use for future projects. Never again need I hold back from buying a yarn I love for fear of the headache transforming it into a ball it might cause me. This may be a blessing or curse, considering how expensive hand-dyed yarn can be... But I will choose, for now, to call it a blessing. Review: Can't believe I've lived without this! - I was winding my hanks around the backs of two chairs and it would take a good 1/2 hour to complete. I bought a large amount of Egyptian cotton yarn some time ago on clearance and it's been sitting in a box because I just didn't have it in me to wind 20+ hanks....until now!! I was able to use the swift and winder to make 8 cakes in 45 minutes! It's worth every penny because of the time savings. Just a note about the winder coming loose--if you wind too quickly, it will not stay clamped. Also, the metal threader/tension rod tends to vibrate when winding, also causing it to come unclamped, so I used a piece of storage tape and taped it down to the counter I had it on. It worked beautifully and now I can wind fast and it doesn't go flying off! I saw other reviews of people winding skeins and I'm not sure why you would do that. This is really only designed for the hanks and I wouldn't waste my time with other balls. Highly recommend because of the cost and time savings overall; plus, all those beautiful sale hanks will now be of use to me! ## Features - Function: making pull thread balls - Umbrella Swift Yarn Winder: make winding the wool and many other strings into balls a much easier - Unbreakable Metal Crank：lightweight and easy to carry, made of good quality metal - Capacity:100 grams to 4 ounces. - Brief Instructions:Works on table thickness up to 1.4",Easy to assemble and disassemble ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07MFPT4BY | | Best Sellers Rank | #289,310 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #162 in Weaving Ball Winders | | Brand | LAMXD | | Brand Name | LAMXD | | Color | BLUE | | Compatible Crochet Hook US Size | G-6, H-8 | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,070 Reviews | | Item Length | 180 yard | | Item Thickness | 1.75 inches | | Item Weight | 113.4 g | | Manufacturer | LAMXD | | Manufacturer Part Number | LAMXD001 | | Material | Wool | | Material Type | Wool | | Model Number | LAMXD001 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product Care Instructions | Machine Wash | | UPC | 605621191245 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Material:** Wool - **Brand:** LAMXD - **Color:** BLUE - **Item Weight:** 113.4 Grams - **Item Length:** 180 Yards - **Product Care Instructions:** Machine Wash - **Item Thickness:** 1.75 Inches - **UPC:** 605621191245 - **Manufacturer:** LAMXD ## Images ![LAMXD Yarn Ball Winder and Yarn Umbrella Swift ¡­ - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nYv24lPZL.jpg) ![LAMXD Yarn Ball Winder and Yarn Umbrella Swift ¡­ - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81lWhrRQP5L.jpg) ![LAMXD Yarn Ball Winder and Yarn Umbrella Swift ¡­ - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vP2DIXD8L.jpg) ![LAMXD Yarn Ball Winder and Yarn Umbrella Swift ¡­ - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71cWfkAhWVL.jpg) ![LAMXD Yarn Ball Winder and Yarn Umbrella Swift ¡­ - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71I5J23w6lL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential for Anyone with a Passion for Hand-Dyed Yarn *by A***R on May 18, 2022* I will admit, I have a bad habit: I buy way too much hand-dyed yarn.

I absolutely love it. The umbrella portion though is a little lacking. It works good for the most part but if you have a skim that has a bigger circle then you will have difficulty of course. I felt it was a little flimsy as well. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/105593966-lamxd-yarn-ball-winder-and-yarn-umbrella-swift](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/105593966-lamxd-yarn-ball-winder-and-yarn-umbrella-swift) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-11*
