Ashford Electric Ball Winder
The Ashford Electric Ball Winder turns skeins and hanks into neat centre-pull balls quickly and without arm ache. Its variable-speed motor, soft start and foot control give you time to guide the yarn properly rather than racing away from you.
It handles everything from small balls to very large 500g cakes and can wind in either direction, making it a particularly useful tool for production work, frequent skein winding or anyone who finds a manual winder uncomfortable.

Why I like it
This is a serious labour-saving tool. The soft start and foot control are what make it especially useful: your hands remain free to guide the yarn, manage tension and stop immediately if a skein catches.
