Product Review By: Nancy Reid
This is the best invention to come down the pike in a long time; it eliminates most of the excuses for lazy plying by making it easier to ply correctly. If you only have 1 bobbin of singles, you can wind off half onto a storage bobbin, gauging by eye, and then ply easily from 2 bobbins. No more plying from 2 ends of a center-pull ball, with the resulting snarls and the need for a friend to help straighten it out! Admit it; you've done that, but now you don't need to. And did I mention, INEXPENSIVE too!
"BOBBINS UP" an answer to all of your spinning storage problems. "BOBBINS UP" is going to change the way you store, ply and spin your singles.
- The bobbin has the capacity of 5+ oz. of fiber. Your singles can be plied right from your lazy Kate because the bobbin has a built in whorl for tension! (the only one on the market!)
- The only tool you need is a drill or a power screwdriver.
- Made of strong plastic material that is totally recyclable
You can load a 5 oz. bobbin in a couple of minutes.
The bobbin has a built in whorl on the end so you can simply place your tension cord from your Lazy Kate over the whorl end of the bobbin. NO worries about "back lash" if a yarn breaks.
If you need a drill/screwdriver to use your "bobbins up" you might want to check out RYOBI TEK 4. Is a bright green in color, comes with a case and charger. It runs at the perfect speed for hand control when filling bobbins.
You can find a cordless drill at your local hardware store from $10-$40.
