Thank you for sharing!!! I have used this on some Cascade 220 and some Peace Fleece and it was fabulous!!! It made the process of winding it so much more pleasurable, and of course faster! My girls are 6 and 3 and were fascinated by it… LOL!

I cannot believe this is so simple. I LOVE it! Now to see if my MIL still has enough TT’s left for me to make one …. AND if she’ll let me have them.

Seriously brilliant idea, thank you so much for sharing it with all of us. I whipped one up out of Fiddlestix after being so inspired by your Tinkerswift. Here’s my blog entry about it, with photos and a video as well. Thanks again!

I know I’m late to this party but I just saw this brilliant idea a few days ago on Ravelry. I got a set of Tinker Toys today, and had great fun using it to roll up two skeins of Malabrigo – it works *wonderfully*!!! Thanks for sharing it with the world.

Now – how about a yarn ball roller…?
