Yarn Ball Cores™
Nancy's Knit Knacks is pleased to announce the introduction of a systematic solution for transferring yarn from a ball winder.

As we completed the development of our Heavy Duty Ball Winder™, we realized that there was no commercially available solution available for those users who wanted to transfer yarn from their ball winders to a paper tube, etc.

It was pretty obvious that a rigid paper tube, sized correctly, could fill this need for all brands of ball winders. We quickly determined that the following characteristics were required:

bulletCores must be rigid and not prone to collapsing.
bulletCores must be affordable so users would not hesitate to use them whenever they needed to.
bulletCores must be reusable many times.
bulletCores must have a means for storing the yarn label.
bulletCores must be sized correctly to hold an adequate amount of yarn without being too large or bulky.
bulletCores must work with all ball winders.

So, we developed Yarn Ball Cores™

Yarn Ball Cores are available in packages of 10 cores and sell for $5.00 per package. Each package includes instructions and photos explaining how to use the cores.

Our cores can be used with all ball winders. If your ball winder has a spindle diameter of more than 1.25", you can use Yarn Ball Cores™.

* More care needs to be used when using a ball winder that has a smaller diameter spindle (such as the one made by Strauch) than those which have a larger diameter or ones which have an indentation in the top of the spindle (such as the small Royal ® brand ball winders).

Yarn Label - You simply store the yarn label inside the core where is safely stored and accessible. If you no longer have the label, then write down the yarn info on a small piece of paper and roll it inside the Core.

Yarn Ball Cores™ - All in all, a very simple solution to an old problem.

Each package includes 10 cores
Also available in Bulk (50 cores per box)
 

 

Yarn Bobbin Holder

During the Fall of 2006, we will introduce a product which will be able to use yarn installed on our Yarn Ball Cores. It will consist of multiple axles that can hold our cores, other bobbins, and skeins, etc.

Knitters, weavers, and spinners will be able to use this new tool. Different versions may be made available with multiple holders so that more than one yarn can be worked with simultaneously. The product will be made from hardwoods and may have tensioning and plying features.

If interested in this new product, join our Mailing List.

Yarn Ball Cores™ Nancy's Knit Knacks' is happy to introduce another solution for fiber artists. Yarn Ball Cores™ provide a more systematic solution to an age-old problem of transferring yarn from a ball winder to a paper tube or other contraption.  Yarn Ball Cores™ can be used with our HDBW or any ball winder*. These tubes are made from strong paper cores and measure 5" long and 1.25" in diameter. They cannot be crushed and are re-usable, many, many times.  No need to use paper towel cores or bathroom tissue tubes ever again. Use the proper tool to get the best results.
 
We will be introducing other products that will use these Cores in the near future.
