So, I made a HUGE, uh… Not quite a mistake, but a decision that had given me a headache, and that was ordering a set of 447 skiens of thread off AliExpress (pic only shows 1 of 4 bags)… To hand wind these without an assist tool would drive me nuts, and since I do this at night, when everyone else is asleep, didn’t want to use my power drill rig (Not to mention that operating a power tool half-asleep is a safety issue). So, grabbed this winder, along with the bobbins, and have started my journey to wind all the threads.Winder itself is a pretty solid construction. Holds the bobbins, both DMC and generics, very well. Even holds my homemade ones of heavy cardstock easily. Pin might need a bit of a redesign because it’s a bit too smooth, and maybe small, to grip without a bit of help from pliers. Think I’ll whittle my own pin to replace it so it’s easier, especially the length. It is very small and compact, and easily fits into the section that holds my leftover thread fragments for storage.In the pics, you can see that it’s sitting on my bobbins box. It is a little on the loose side, but wedging a folded piece of paper helps keep it from moving too much. Though, I honestly wished that it had slots on all four sides instead of just three.I’ll probably end up modifying this so that it can take a screwhead where the handle is so I can make wrapping so much quicker with my power drill. Price-wise, I think it’s worth it with the amount of bobbins that came with it. Again, 447 skeins, plus whatever I had to begin with. Gonna need to buy more bobbins anyways, or make more.Now to figure out how many bobbin boxes I’m gonna need for this organization project…
