At least twice a day now I'm checking ups.com for updates on my yarn winder which I ordered with a 50% off coupon (score!). Last night I spent most of Lost and half of The Nine winding a ball of Noro Korchoran (see below) by hand. *sigh* Not fun. Once I get my winder I'll be able to wind yarn super quick-like, although I still have no idea where I'm going to put the darn thing. Oh well.
One of the reasons I really wanted this winder (besides the fact that a nearby lys was going out business and not winding any more balls!) is because I recently bought some (super cheap!) yarn on webs.com and there's no way I'm winding 1,000+ yards of wool by hand. Check it out here - it's the last color on the page. I found a great v-neck sweater that I plan to use it for, after the Christmas rush, of course!

Ball winders are awesome. Smaller than you might think. Fairly easy to store. And what a service! Next you'll need a swift, then you'll really bet set. ;-)
I agree, ball winders are great. I have had one for almost a year. I don't have a swift so I have used the back of a chair or I hang the yarn on the ironing board and turn it. Sometimes I have to wind it twice to get it wound the way I like it. Good luck with your new toy.
