Yarns that come in twisted hanks need to be wound into a ball before use, a task that some knitters find\u00a0pleasure in, but\u00a0others consider a chore. We have a swift and ballwinder here at the shop to make quick work of that task, and we’re happy to do it for you. For\u00a0years, our heavy duty ballwinder from Nancy’s Knit Knacks has served us well, smoothly winding miles of yarn into neat little cakes that can be pulled from the inside or outside end.<\/p>\n

It was starting to slow down a couple of weeks ago, so\u00a0we sent it in to be refurbished and asked for a big upgrade: a power base. Our ballwinder is now motorized, rather than hand-cranked, which requires much less of our attention.<\/p>\n

For a long time, we’ve had a no-winding-on-Saturday policy, taking the swift and ballwinder down for\u00a0our busiest day of the week. It was hard to be tied to the ballwinder when phones and questions needed answering, yarn needed fetching from the inventory room, and a line was forming at checkout. Our new motorized ballwinder makes it easier for us to multitask, which means we’re now happy to wind yarn purchased at our shop anytime, even on Saturdays! Come by the shop to plan your next project, and leave with your yarn ready to use right away. See you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
