While we were in America I went on a bit of a yarn binge, but much of the yarn there is sold in skeins. I bought this Japanese winder quite a few years ago, but I decided to go for it and get the umbrella stand to go with it (both are much cheaper online -- around 1/3 of the price -- than in the fancy yarn shops). It's great! It was taking me ages and ages to wind by hand (partly because the Purl Soho fingering weight yarn comes in generous quantities), but this did it pretty speedily. I finished winding the last balls on the weekend, to the accompaniment of my niece singing 'Wind the Bobbin Up'.
