does it work for yarn balls

It works with skeins and balls, better of course with center-pull. This is the best yarn tool I've ever purchased.

It should work, but I don't recommend this one. It is designed for the blue snowball and it quite honestly doesn't work that well even in its intended application. It looks cool, which is why I don't return it (and I haven't bothered to purchase a better one) but it still transfers a fair amount of vibration because of how taut the strands are.

That I don't know, however there should be some videos about that on youtube. I would look there or at the website that is listed on the knitting machine box.

I wouldn't recommend this for your knitting, especially not for yarn. It has a smooth bottom, but it's got uneven edges on the sides that I think could snag stuff. Plus, I dislike this because it's top heavy and wants to tip over all the time. I put what I thought were heavy tools in the bottom, like hammers, small saws, wrenches, etc, and it still wants to tip over! That's just my take. I think perhaps I'd try something different.

It would work, but only for small pieces taking into consideration the width of the rollers. I use mine to make 5 inch rounds.

The yarn wound with this metal ball winder will absolutely work with a knitting machine - center pull. I LOVE this metal body machine. Have broken teeth on so many plastic ball winders over the years and this one keeps winding away with no breaks. Just a little WD-40 every once in a while to lubricate moving metal parts. This winder is an absolute must!!

I think it probably will. Just keep your fabric a bit looser so the can manipulate it a bit easier. The only thing I can see as a hindrance would be rolling the parts you already have your yarn in. Have fun and enjoy. Remember, you can get very large frame pieces by this company. That may also help a great deal. I hope this was helpful.

I don't think it would work with elastic thread, in fact, the product did not work well at all. I would not buy this particular bobbin winder, it wound the thread lopsided and without equal tension, piece of junk!

You can put beads on it, but I tried knitting it & the knot won't hold tight. It's a rather thick plastic. Hope this helps.

no. this only works with tennis balls. they sell a different ball saver for racquetballs which is smaller than this one.

It is designed to work on holes that have plugs. So if the exercise ball you have has the same inlet as a large exercise ball (a plastic pin that is pulled out when inflating and inserted when done), then it will work great.I use it for my exercise ball, but I have a large one about 3 ft. in diameter.

Only if the yarn is close to same color as the needles. For instance browns with rust and turquoise. Otherwise there is no problem.

I don't know I bought this to make paper beads. It seems to unwrap quickly but maybe on a less sounded surface it may work well. Hope this helps a little. Heliena

i havent tried it on those, but it picks up sweet gum balls very well, and i believe it would pick up anything that is basically round in shape.

I used it with rubber balls into a net at home and it didn't seem to pick it up. I have not tried to use regular balls.

No. It is designed for fine needles. Anything else will jam ... And you will not be happy. !!

Yes! I bought it for my teenage Grandaughter who,knowing she was getting one,bought heavy weight yarn to knit a scarf.Trial and error proved you have to allow space for yarn thickness by skipping prongs.After that,it worked out just fine. I hope this answered your question&helped you decide if you want to order one or not.I may get one for myself soon.This particular one is well made.
