Wind neat skeins with adjustable length

Turn handspun or mill yarn into tidy, twist-balanced skeins in minutes. The Lojan Skeinwinder’s smooth crank and free-running hub keep tension even, so hanks lie flat and dry quickly after washing or setting twist. The circumference adjusts widely—from about **65 cm (26") to 150 cm (59")**—so you can match skein size to project, fiber, or storage.

• Adjustable circumference: 65–150 cm (≈26–59").
• Consistent winding: smooth handle; low, even resistance.
• Quicker finishing: skeins open and rinse evenly; less tangling.

Mount where you work

Use it at a table, or attach it to your Lojan Buddy wheel when you want an all-in-one setup.

• Table clamp secures to shelves and benches up to ≈45 mm (1.7") thick.
• Buddy integration: dedicated mount points let you fasten the skeinwinder directly to your Budget Buddy, Travel Buddy, or wide/double-treadle Buddy.
• Folds flat for compact storage and travel.

Measure yardage as you wind

Because one turn equals the set circumference, you can count revolutions for quick yardage estimates.

• **65 cm (0.65 m)** ≈ **0.71 yd** per turn
• **100 cm (1.0 m)** ≈ **1.09 yd** per turn
• **120 cm (1.2 m)** ≈ **1.31 yd** per turn
• **150 cm (1.5 m)** ≈ **1.64 yd** per turn

Example: at 150 cm, 100 turns ≈ 150 m / 164 yd. (Allow for a small take-up difference after washing.)

Built to last, ready to personalize

Made from solid beech and laminated beech, the Lojan Skeinwinder is sturdy, repairable, and designed for decades of use. It ships in a smart DIY format for straightforward assembly and a lighter footprint. The wood arrives unfinished, allowing you to protect and match your studio setup with oil, wax, or lacquer. (Lojan beeswax polish provides a soft, matte glow.)

Thoughtful details that make work easier

• Arms stay true: balanced arms reduce wobble and help maintain even tension.
• Compact footprint: ideal for small studios, retreats, and guild nights.
• Niddy-noddy alternative: wind larger, repeatable skeins faster—no retying between ends.

Helpful tips

• Tie skeins in at least four places before washing to prevent tangles.
• For counting yardage, use a clicker or mark every 10 turns with a tie.
• After setting twist, press water out with a towel; hang skeins to dry without weight for bounce, or add a light weight for sleeker yarns.

What you can make easier

Scarves, shawls, sweater quantities, natural-dye sample sets, hand-painted hanks, and tidy storage for stash yarns—all faster and more consistent with a dedicated skeinwinder.
