I used the search function on my blog (top left corner on desktop version) to look up if I had any posts about my ball winders. I did! https://tracykm.blogspot.com/search?q=ball+winder It seems my beloved German one, I bought in 2004. Okay, should I retitle this blog post?
I posted a video on YouTube about my three ball winders. I said I would post about how I ended up with the last winder.
In late January, when I was looking for new crochet channels to watch, I came across a few channels reviewing a Caydo rechargeable yarn winder. One of these channels was Knotty Bear Crochet. He had just gotten the winder given to him, and he was also in Ontario. I decided to go ahead and order one, using a code from another YouTube channel, for a discount. They were on sale (pre-discount) for about $95Cdn.
About a week after I placed my order, I was thinking I should have a shipping notice or something. I looked on the Shop app and it quickly flashed up as in transit, then it changed to "awaiting information" and then something about arriving in September. WHAT?
I emailed Caydo. They responded saying it was out of stock in Canada, and "would not be available." Basically, none of the models were available. They said they could refund me. It was phrased like "if you want it, we'll refund you". Of course I wanted a refund. They suggested I buy it through their Amazon store. I took a look, and it would cost me $16 more. I was annoyed. I asked why I could buy it through there, but not on their website, which listed them as available. They responded that websites take a bit of time to update, but they can't move items from their Amazon store to their website.
Not feeling the love anymore, I opted to just order a different brand. I couldn't find one that was rechargeable (for a comparable price), so I pretty much just picked one that had good reviews, the description said it was an upgraded German motor.
It came, and gosh, it feels so cheap. It's so light. The instructions had some translation issues.
