BASIC BUT GOOD!
The media could not be loaded. Easy to put together! Works like a charm and pretty intuitive. The table holder doesnt extend very far so if your craft table is thick then you might need another surface and the metal yarn holder was kind of loose and prone to falling over but otherwise love this gadget for that last bit of my skein when I cant center pull from it anymore and the vintage look is so appealing. At 15-20$ I'm very happy with it and def told all my yarn friends! Rolling your own yarn balls isnt hard ... but this is WAY more fun! 🥰

It's not perfect, but it works for me. I'd get something nicer if you need to cake a lot
Once you figure out this winder’s quirks, it works just fine.The instructions say you should just point the metal piece straight up and then pull it out as far as you can and then it should stay, but mine definitely doesn’t. Especially if you try to wind even a little bit fast, it falls over. Inconvenient, but I just hold it in place while I’m winding - not entirely horrible as this also allows me to guide my yarn a little more. You can also attach the base of it to pretty much anything you want. I’ve put it on my closet shelves, windowsill, and even a regular cardboard box (like the ones Amazon delivers a lot of items in, not the super thin one the winder itself came in).It works for me as I don’t need to cake up yarn super often, but if I did, then I would for sure want something nicer. I did include a picture of two yarns that I caked up; you will be relatively limited by the position of the metal guide. The red yarn that I caked up was around 255 yards, and it was almost hitting the metal guide, so you won’t be able to cake up anything much more than this if you use a 3 weight yarn. Larger weight yarns will likely be even more limited.

Works Well
Use it to build up new yarn balls for tufting -- it's quick and works well -- a bit old school construction and materials, but it works.

Small capacity
This is so much easier than winding yarn by hand, even into a messy ball. The capacity of the winder is a little low. I had a not quite complete skein of #4 yarn, and I was bumping up against the guide thing by the time I was done. It's also easy to dislodge the guide loop when winding. Even with that, still a very useful product, and the compact size is even mostly a plus

Works great!
This yarn ball winder works great! Stays mounted in place and doesn’t move around while I’m winding yarn. Definitely an upgrade from hand winding my yarns. The only thing I don’t like is the tension holder. It always falls down and doesn’t stay in place for long. Other than that I really like it.

Makes a ball of yarn
This strange lite device does exactly what it says it will do. It makes yarn into a tidy ball. I had a bit of frustration with it - The instructions are simple enough but no matter what I do I cannot make this a "one handed" process like it describes. I found that I had to crank with one hand and create medium tension on the yarn as it feeds through the metal loop. I also found that if I crank too quickly the center post will go flying off the machine. So now that I've used it and figured that out I can do it better.

The winder has it's flaws.
This would be a great tool for rolling your yarn but for a few flaws. It easily locks to a table edge, set up is easy and the winding arm works well. However, the problem is the guide arm tends to fall, it does not lock into position and the yarn looses direction and gets caught in the gear mechanism. Then you have to unravel the yarn and hope it does not break. Other than that issue it would be a wonderful, inexpensive tool. The user would have to take extra care by holding the yarn guide while turning hand crank.
