had a very relaxing time winding wool with this crazy contraption the other day ! i had to modify the yarn guide as it kept falling over ( which was very frustrating ! ) . it creates adorable yarn cakes which makes them much more manageable and neater as well . they stack really well which means it’s an all around good bit of equipment to have around : ) i do recommend getting one , you can buy them on amazon for around £10 , so why not ! who else finds winding wool relaxing ?
unfortunately the wool guide does not stay clipped into place . so winding is not possible without lots of tangles . found the cogs slipped too . contacted the seller to say goods faulty but got nowhere , i suspect a language barrier . amazon intervened and got refund .

on september 11 , 1907 , a three - year - old stallion named wool winder won the st . leger stakes at doncaster . also on that date at doncaster , a man named ladden picked up a picture postcard to send to a friend in america . a century later , this card eventually found its way into the antique shop in mark twain’s hometown of hannibal , missouri , and now sits on my desk . on the front is a view from the grandstand at the doncaster racecourse , looking down onto the finish line . the turf cuts at an angle across the picture plane . at the line are two riders nearly neck in neck , one slightly behind . on september 13 , ladden wrote across the face of the card :
the card was addressed to mr . james cameron at the arlington hotel in hot springs , arkansas . it was postmarked at liverpool on september 14 and again at hot springs on september 27 . we can only make guesses about the identities and ultimate fates of messrs . ladden and cameron . with nothing to go on besides a relatively common name , cameron will likely remain a mystery . h . m . ladden’s sole appearance in the historical record is in a 1919 issue of variety that mentions an individual of that name contributing fifty cents to a benefit fund for the vaudeville performer bert leslie . the tantalizing idea that he might himself have been a vaudevillian is not borne out by research . wool winder’s fate is known , however . he was sold to the austrian government in 1909 and spent the war years as an enemy thoroughbred .

the winders function is pretty simple but really fun to watch . the motion of the winder can be explained as such . the hand crank , when turned causes the center carriage mechanism to rotate around a stationary cone . the motion of the carriage in combination with the stationary cone causes the winding spindle to rotate about its axis . the winding spindle completes one rotation for every nine rotations of the hand crank . the dual spinning motion of the carriage and the spindle is what causes the yarn to take the form of a cylinder .

i bought this purely as a tool to make my handspun hanks into balls for easier knitting butthis handy little gadget does something else - when you use the inner cord with the outer you can ply ! so glad i purchased this . . . the delivery was exceptional and the winder was with me in about 3 days . also it has proved to be quite a conversation piece as many of my friends ( male and female ) have said it brings back memories of grandmas , aunties and of course mums having one exactly the same . if you are a hand spinner you really can ' t afford to be without this little gizmo !

as other reviews have mentioned the yarn guide will not stay out . price reflects the quality of this item . it does work , but you have to hold the guide and watch for yarn tangling in the cogs . does a decent job of winding standard length skeins but if you are using it a lot i would go for a better quality and design and more expensive .
i don ' t know how i have managed without this . the only difficult thing is that the instructions are not very clear but i found several videos on youtube that clearly demonstrated the technique and now i ' m flying with this wonderful little gadget . it ' s endlessly fascinating to see skeins of yarn turned into uniformly wound balls . i initially thought i would use yarn only from the centre of the ball but in fact the balls tend to collapse if they are more than 50g in weight so i am using from the outside and it ' s very easy and flows well . this was reasonably priced and delivered quickly . even my 18 year old son has been helping me wind my enormous yarn stash into attractive and easy to store balls . brilliant .
i had one of the winders years ago and was not disappointed when i tried this one out unfortunately it only worked a few times and now only winds one way instead of criss cross . the arm on the back keeps falling down so it ' s not what i hoped it would be .
- arrived in good time - the box was tatty but the product was undamaged - this is a must have for those who buy cheaper quality yarn and like to start from the centre of the ball or check for imperfections before starting a project . - it ' s easy to assemble and use but a little awkward to store ( unless your blessed with lots of storage space ) . despite that it ' s one of my favourite tools to use when crocheting . i would love an electric / battery powered version but for the time being this is perfect .
don ' t part with your money for this , save up & buy better quality .
poor quality & the seller has not responded to my request to return it for a refund . the tension / feed arm does not stay up by itself , the yarn then tangles easily around the toothed gears , the clamp does not hold securely to the table top .
purchased for my wife . opening package product very much plastic and looked cheap but after small amount of construction my wife used it and was very pleased that it does the job as described , and happy with product .

noble mission still trails kingman and australia at a respectful distance in the horse of the year category but has a useful lead in his own section .
for the third time in four years , prince khalid abdullah took home the highest honour at the cartier awards with a homebred when his three - year - old miler kingman was crowned europe ' s horse of the year in a ceremony at the dorchester hotel in london last night .
night of thunder was winning for the first time since beating kingman in last season ' s 2000 guineas at newmarket . he subsequently finished second to kingman in the st james ' s palace stakes and a return to royal ascot for the queen anne over a mile is now on the cards .
on his three - year - old debut , night of thunder contested the greenham stakes , a major trial race for the 2000 guineas , run at newbury racecourse on 12 april . starting the 11 / 4 second favourite in a field which included the royal lodge stakes winner berkshire , the middle park stakes winner astaire , and the solario stakes winner kingman . night of thunder tracked the leader , astaire , for most of the race and moved up to dispute the lead approaching the final furlong . at this point , he was overtaken by kingman and finished second , beaten four and a half lengths by the winner .
“i think we will have him pretty fit for the al shaqab lockinge . we can only plan as far as royal ascot with both night of thunder and toormore . both will go for the al shaqab lockinge and then the queen anne at royal ascot . there is a terrific programme of european mile races during the season .
frankel ' s full - brother , the three - time gr . 1 winner noble mission , took the cartier older horse of the year 2014 award .
richard hannon commented :
night of thunder has four and three - quarter lengths to make up on solow from royal ascot but our fellow ran better than his finishing position ( fifth ) suggests as he was still second at the furlong - pole but could not quicken up on that fast ground .
his devastating turn of foot at the end of a mile won him four group ones on all sorts of ground and the only shame was that he was unable to compete in the qeii . his sole defeat came when he was second to night of thunder in the 2 , 000 guineas – a race that can comfortably be considered the most quality - packed race run in britain this year .
“a lot of the milers from last year have retired or gone by the wayside and hopefully night of thunder will have improved . the ground is no problem for him – he acts on all sorts of going and copes with soft ground better than most horses and goes on fast ground as well . ideally , it will be good ground at newbury on may 16 .
the horse also claimed the prize for top three - year - old colt , with the filly award going to stablemate taghrooda .
