DIY Yarn Winder - step by step woodworking guide

I made my wife a yarn swift and ball winder for her birthday this year, making it quick and easy to turn a loose yarn skein into a nice yarn cake that pulls from the center, which prevents the yarn from rolling around while knitting.

In this video, I'll show you how to make the winder.
