Binding keeper my brother made for me
 

I asked my brother to make this so I could use it for the big skeins of yarn sold by red heart. It makes it really easy to unwind the yarn from the skein into a ball. You thread the center rod through the skein and it unwinds very easily. I saw the original product (called a yarn unwider) on ebay and sent my brother a picture. I imagine it was pretty easy to make he only needed the dimensions of a skein of yarn to make sure it would be tall enough and wide enough. It's made from PVC pipe and the metal rod in the middle. I recently used it to wind my binding on for the last quilt I made and this tool made it so easy to have the binding under the table and no problems with twisting. It really helped a lot.

Really great Ideal

Nice idea - people are so creative!

I love it!

Very clever!

i want one !!!!!!!!!!!

great idea... I may make one

This is a great idea...and to have a brother that can make it for you is so nice...I was thinking one could be made smaller to put ribbon on...may mount on wall or under a shelf...what do you think?

Does your brother hire himself out? :D

Wow, thanks for sharing I need some thing like this for binding . I'll show my husband the picture. hope you don't mind if I use your idea.

Great idea for anything on a roll. Such as ribbons also.

What a great idea.

Nifty idea. And I probably have enough room under my table to store a small one--that would just hold one roll of binding. This has got my wheels turning...

Found this on pinterest and think it would also work very well. Wish I'd thought of it myself. I've got one of these freestanding tp holders.[ATTACH=CONFIG]412024[/ATTACH]

How nifty. I bet your Brother could make some good money just making then for people on here. I need to get hubby on this ASAP. Thanks for sharing your new gadget.

Awesome!!!!!

That is a great idea!!!

JudyS, that is a very clever idea, as well. That would also work for quilt binding.

Cool! What a great brother

A very good idea and a wonderful brother do make it for you. You're a lucky gal.

What is it they say? Necessity is the mother of invention. Great idea. I know I am going to copy it. Your brother doesn't have a pattent does he? lol

What a great idea...Thanks...

No patent. We stole the idea from an ebay seller. eeeek!

What a cool brother - love it!

What a wonderful idea, thanks for sharing

How clever.

Brilliant idea! He should patent that.

Quilters are such ingenious souls-great idea, love that you can use it for a double purpose. Thanks for sharing.

OOOOHHHH!!! GREAT idea!!! I might have to make a trip to Home Depot tomorrow!!! :)

What a great idea!
