Product Overview

Fiber Artist Supply Co. Maple Jumbo Yarn Ball Winder

The Maple Jumbo Yarn Ball Winder from Fiber Artist Supply Co. is our most popular yarn winder and an essential tool for any fiber artist! Designed for ease of use and durability, this winder makes transforming hanks of yarn into manageable balls effortless.

Key Features:

  • Smooth Operation: Equipped with six sealed ball bearings, the winder spins almost effortlessly. A well-balanced main winding assembly allows for use with or without a table clamp, providing versatility in any workspace.

  • Handcrafted Quality: Each winder is meticulously handcrafted from hard maple and premium maple-veneered plywood, finished with natural Danish oil to highlight the beauty of the wood.

  • Modular Design: One of the standout features of our ball winder is its modular design, allowing for easy disassembly and servicing. Whether for cleaning or replacing a broken part, you can take the entire unit apart.

  • Yarn Capacity: The capacity of the winder depends on the tension and thickness of the yarn. You can expect to wind around 1 pound of fingering weight yarn, with a maximum capacity of approximately 10 ounces for worsted weight yarn. This capacity is nearly double that of standard plastic winders.

  • Durable Urethane Belts: Designed for longevity, the urethane belting used in this winder can last around 10 years. Replacement belts are available on our website if needed.

  • Complete Your Setup: For a comprehensive winding experience, pair this winder with our Maple Yarn Swift, perfect for your home, studio, or workspace!

  • Maple Jumbo Yarn Ball Winder
  • Table Clamp
  • Yarn Guide
  • 1/8" Urethane Drive Belt
  • 1/8" and 3/32" Hex Wrenches

Warranty Information:

Each jumbo ball winder comes with a one-year warranty against manufacturer's defects from the date of purchase. The production date can be referenced via the serial number on the bottom of the unit, allowing for easy warranty verification.

Note: Items ship mostly assembled, with some light assembly required. Yarn is not included.

    Love this winder!

    Posted by Kyrie Garretson on 25th Mar 2019

    This is awesome! Smooth as silk and makes beautiful cakes! I had a different brand and it wasn't nearly as nice. Saw this mentioned on Rav and folks seemed to really like so I thought I would give it a try and boy! I am so glad I did!

    Get the yarn guide placed correctly!

    Posted by Lizzie on 20th Feb 2019

    I bought this yarn winder several years ago...couldn’t get it to work. Yarn slipped up and below the ball of yarn. Couldn’t figure out what to do. Just went back to my cheapie plastic yarn winder. Really frustrated! Now they have these videos...and I didn’t even find this one about yarn guide placement right away. Was about to call them...but wandered through their website one more time. Bingo! The yarn guide placement made all the difference! Now I am a happy camper. Sure wish I had seen the video before.

    It's perfect my first winder!

    Posted by HaYoung Kim on 22nd Nov 2018

    Seriously? Really? Yeah!!! It’s real! Finally, I got my first yarn winder!!!! So excited! Although it took about 2 weeks to get to me, it was worth waiting! I don’t wanna buy the Chinese one made of plastic, so I had googled for finding sturdy, durable and wooden one! The effort resulted in Jumbo Yarn Ball Winder! I’m so glad to buy it!! I’m not in US, so I had to use the international shipping by USPS. I got a trouble with my address unrecognized, but Tim as fiberartistsupplyco crew so kindly took care of my problem. Thank you, Tim! Thank you, Fiber Artist Supply Co.!

    Great silent workhorse

    Posted by Bernadette on 15th Nov 2018

    I got my winder about 2 weeks ago and it is fabulous! It is so quiet and winds very smoothly. I have wasted good money on plastic models that have failed but this maple winder is fantastic. I also purchased a yarn meter so I now know how much yarn I have harvested from deconstructed sweaters.

    The best!

    Posted by Merrilyn Dean Thompson on 24th Oct 2018

    This is the best yarn winder I own. The smooth action and ease of use is amazing. I wish I had known about this winder sooner.

    New model doesn't need to be clamped!

    Posted by Sillybear on 1st Oct 2018

    I recently replaced my perfectly working older FAS winder with the new model because the new model doesn't need to be clamped - which is HUGE at my house. I used it for the fist time Saturday at a "Heritage day" spinning gig. Umbrella swift clamped to my chair, I wound about 600 yards of handspun with the winder sitting casually un-clamped on a small, folding plastic table. My cohort took the precaution of removing her open coffee cup from the table as I wound, but that was all. It wound like a dream. A rock solid, totally stable dream. I'm donating my old model to my guild. It still has a lot of life in it, and I don't have need or space for two. THANK YOU TIM!

    I was WOW'd

    Posted by Joe Cole on 6th Aug 2018

    I placed an order for 3 things a week ago and finally got my order 7 days later. GREAT. opened my boxes to see most ball winder already assembled. Fanstatic! just have to put the belt on and guide shaft and I was ready to go. I've used the other brand jumbo wooden ball winder and this one I have to see is obviously a lot lighter and smoother running. I'm very happy with the quality of this ball winder. I've tested it already with 1 cake made. I can't wait to put it to use. Now I just have to assemble and test out the standing yarn swift/skein winder.

    Best winder thus far

    Posted by Ana on 14th Jul 2018

    I bought my winder a couple of years ago. Around 2014-2015. At the time it was priced at 89.99. I use it often and I love it. My winder looks a lot different than the one shown. I suppose it’s progress making the unit a bit smaller. My yarn guide stays in place it doesn’t move around. Either way is the best investment I’ve ever made. Thanks fiberartist.

    Great winder

    Posted by Barbara on 4th Oct 2017

    This winder is the best! I think I have had it three years now and it works great, so much better than those little plastic and metal things I used before. The price is reasonable and I think mine will last forever. I have recommended it to others on Ravelry numerous times.
