Will this winder work for smaller quantities of yarn?

I have wound full skeins of I Love This Yarn, and it winds them perfectly. Even those too small stuff, like say 1/6 of a skein, it does a pretty good job. They're kinda squishy, but they look much better wound! All my friends bring their scraps to wind. It has really worked wonders for organization! Definitely worth the price!

I'm not sure, but I think it might just tangle the strings. I had a heavier wind spinner attached to mine.

I wouldn't recommend this for your knitting, especially not for yarn. It has a smooth bottom, but it's got uneven edges on the sides that I think could snag stuff. Plus, I dislike this because it's top heavy and wants to tip over all the time. I put what I thought were heavy tools in the bottom, like hammers, small saws, wrenches, etc, and it still wants to tip over! That's just my take. I think perhaps I'd try something different.

It would work, but only for small pieces taking into consideration the width of the rollers. I use mine to make 5 inch rounds.

Very small amounts 1" or less will work with this machine if it is not to wet. It does not do well with very wet snow (almost slush) as it jams the ejector tube. It does not do well with packed snow as it won't break it loose from the surface.

That depends upon the shape of your bead and finding. I waste far fewer crimp beads with this tool though. It is like having a third hand. It would be nice if they'd make one that was smaller. I do like this tool and would purchase it again.

can't answer now; still need to put together and probably will do soon. I DO KNOW FOR SURE THE UNIT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR WEIGHT ITEMSI plan to use for storage of YARN ONLY. If you want to ask me later do PM to gr8rajo@sti.net

I am not familiar with quilting needles but I. Know for a fact that this threads very small needles

Ball winder A will clamp onto a larger surface than B. I have B and I clamp it onto my built in breadboard and it works fine.

Yes using multiple pullies I am sure it will. However keep in mind the extra pullies will still allow the weight to free spool back to its starting point.

Hello, the smallest I was able to make was just over a 2mm, the next size was 3.5 and the largest 5mm. I realize the 2mm sounds small though I had purchased for a particular project. I was using 26 gauge wire and was wanting a tight loop. Also the pliers were rather heavy so it was bending the wire from the shear weight. But they are well made just too big and heavy for me. Unfortunately I do not use them. Hope this helps.

I believe that this is intended only for the lightest of jobs. I am not keeping the one I bought. It just doesn't have enough uumph.

Yes - just know that the taks are small and you'll spend a lot of time pulling them out later - I would suggest using a staple puller the slide under kind that catch the staple/tak - then go over the quilt again and look for all the ends that don't fall out. I loved it for my larger quilts

Hi The winder is designed for regular hose and that is the type that I use. It has an apparatus that actually moves back and forth across the hose drum as the drum rotates winding up the hose evenly across the drum. I expect that a flat hose will be rolled on the drum as a round one would but the capacity probably will be greater. The only problem I would expect to see would be keeping the hose from rotating as it is rolled up. Good luck with this one.

i haven't tried in below zero, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't. The winder assembly is very loose, not like a bearing assembly where close tolerances can spell trouble. The result is a very easy winding unit that I doubt would be subject to extremes in temperature.

It works very well for regular threads and needles on the one side. For thicker threads you can use the left side

No only small and some medium size threads, i wanted to hang my big rolls of serger machine thread but they are too big. But it looks nice and neat all the colors. :)
