It runs on the market for about $89.99, but I had a coupon for Micheals to get 50% off any one regularly priced item, so the grand total for this gem came to be about $48.00! Can't beat that! As in love as I am, though, I wouldn't have paid $90 for it, that's overly priced in my opinion.
It is great, though! It's so much faster than winding yarn by hand (with a crank/dial) or the umbrella swifts. I love that with the electric motor, it's almost hands free! All I have to do is thread the machine and feed the yarn through every so often if it gets caught before it gets back on track again. It's perfect for rewinding partially used skeins that take up a lot of space in my yarn stash (perhaps, this will be my new excuse to by more yarn...now that might not be too good!) The new balls are compact and easy to store!

It turns this messy skein....
Into this....
It even makes this messy, dyeing experiment gone wrong...
Look semi- decent....
I rewound all of this...
In less than an hour! That's SO much faster than hand winding!
So, if you are in the market for a new yarn winder, I would highly suggest you check this out!
