Yarn CAKE!
So I promised you a picture of the yarn I wound with my new Strauch ball winder. 
In the mean time I have been trying to explain to my children why it wasn't really a ball. They kept arguing with me about it not being a ball at all! Well I said they actually call it a "CAKE". Then why is the contraption called a ball winder and not a CAKE winder???? hehehe Kids... Now I can't wait to knit with it. I am hoping to cast on for some fingerless gloves this weekend at the fiber retreat I will be attending.
Well Here it is, the CAKE I made with my new ball winder. I think it is just so pretty and fun to look at.

I love my little yarn cakes! They do make me inordinately happy.
I'm really glad you got a ball winder - really makes life so much easier as a spinner (and a knitter!)
:-)
My sock yarn cakes hold my dpns in progress so beautifully! I can hardly keep my 10 YO away from my "cake" winder - he loves to make the cake!
The yarn cake looks huge! Did you use one of those jumbo winders? I'd love to have one of those.
Yes the cake is HUGE and it was made with a Strauch jumbo ball winder. I love it, I don't like splicing in yarn and weaving in tails. I also have a Jumbo plying bobbin, so that I can make Huge skeins with no spliced ends.
