One of my requests this year was just yarn. Yarn and more yarn. And everyone delivered! Including Ross who I still wonder why fans this flame.
Count up all the yarn! *hearts for eyes emoji*
One of the most clever presents I got was the famous Stanwood Yarn Winder. Okay okay okay, so maybe it isn't really famous outside of my nerdy fiber art world. But it lives up to the hype.
Yarn typically comes wound up in a few different forms: a skein, a hank, a ball, or the beloved cake.

The solution comes in the form of a yarn winder! Manual or electric, big or small, expensive or inexpensive, the variety is out there. Of course I did my research and found exactly what I wanted with the Stanwood winder. Then I put in a request with my birthday fairies (mom and dad) and they made it happen.
I am so so so in love with this machine. It wraps your yarn into THE PERFECT "cake." Cakes are center pull so you are guaranteed ease and no tangles as you work on projects. Seriously.
The best part is that it is so fun and relaxing to wind up each cake. As soon as I came home from birthday adventures, I ran to assemble my new toy. I set it up in no time and got to work winding with some help from the family. Everyone took it for a spin and we all agreed that it was pretty fun.
And by-the-way thanks Stanwood yarn winder for single-handedly destroying my sleep until every single skein and ball and hank in my possession are wound into beautiful little cakes. Kidding... kinda.
Best birthday "cake" ever! Thanks everyone for the presents and well-wishes. It was a fantastic day.

ReplyDeleteThis has three rounded links and is a more modern version of the famous replica watches sale jubilee bracelet. It fits very comfortably on the wrist and rolex replica sale features a polished center link flanked by two brushed links. The Rolex Datejust II has the Oyster bracelet that is also three links with a polished center link. It is sportier looking than the rolex replica sale President bracelet as the links are larger and flatter. Neither bracelet is per se better than the other, but aside from style, there are some very minor differences. The Oyster style bracelet is a more simple version of the wonderful bracelet on the rolex replica uk Submariner (reviewed here). It doesn't have the Glidelock deployant and is styled a bit differently (the Submariner does not have a polished center link). The Oyster replica watches uk bracelet has a distinct looking deployant that is much more diminutive than on historic Rolex watches.
