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

    Worth every penny

    Posted by Sarah on 21st Dec 2015

    This winder is beautiful to look at, but more important, it's beautiful in the way it works!! I took it to a "caking" party where we all wound up balls of donated yarn. My winder worked at least twice, probably 3x, faster than the others (those plastic ones). The winding has a larger diameter wheel, so your winding is efficient It reminded me of the difference in pedaling a bicycle with teeny wheels (and a shorter pedaling radius) compared with pedaling a bike with larger wheels. This winder is worth every penny!!

    Absolutely love my winder and swift. I was looking for a high quality, handcrafted set to go with my Kromski wheel and these fit the bill. Thank you!

    This one will last a lifetime!

    Posted by Unknown on 11th Dec 2014

    After my 2nd Knit picks ball winder broke after only 2 weeks of use, I decided it was time to find a ball winder that would last a lifetime. This one fit the bill. It is extremely well crafted and works like a charm! I have owned my ball winder for 6 months and I love it!

    Perfect ball winder

    Posted by Unknown on 4th Dec 2014

    When my old KnitPicks broke, I decided to splurge on this and I'm so glad I did. It's easy to set up, and is whisper-quiet. I've recommended this product to a few friends and will continue to do so!

    Heirloom Piece

    Posted by Unknown on 14th Apr 2014

    I've owned mine for nearly a year now & it's still as beautiful, functional, and smooth as it was the day it arrived, after serious use. Unlike the ugly plastic winders, the craftsmanship and clean lines of this one make it so unobtrusive that it allows me to keep it clamped on a book shelf in my living room permanently (without looking like I run a yarn store!) which is a huge plus.

    Best ball winder I've ever seen.

    Posted by Unknown on 24th Mar 2013

    I've owned 2 cheap plastic ball winders and a metal gear ball winder in the past. This one is the best ball winder I have ever tried! This one makes very pretty yarn ball. Great workmanship!!
