I absolutely love my Caker and would never want to be without it. The adjustable speed control is one of my favorite features: I can slow things down when I want more control or speed things up when I’m ready to keep winding. It makes the whole process feel easier and more enjoyable.
The Caker is an investment, but it has been well worth it for me. Romarin’s customer support has also been top-notch, which makes me feel even better about my purchase. I had a small issue when I first received it, due to the parts shifting during shipping. Jean-Phillipe was very responsive and walked me through the needed adjustment. It then worked perfectly, and has been flawless since. I feel totally confident about this piece of kit for my knitting practice. I’m so glad I bought this machine!

I Love my Caker!!!!
I have a Nancy’s Knit Knacks winder that I foolishly did not buy the power base. I decided a few years ago that I would really love a powered winder. I spent some time researching what was available and purchased the Caker.
It has been fantastic since day one. I have had no issues and it makes very yummy cakes! I would not hesitate to purchase one.

I love this caker so much that I just ordered my second one. I have one in Florida and one up north in Wisconsin. I have had mine for 3 years and I have never had a problem. My girlfriend has had hers for 5 years and not a problem. If I did, I know Jean-Philippe would make it right.
Jean-Philippe was so helpful. I was having trouble paying for it and he walked me through the process. He also changed the shipping location. It is a great product and great company.

As a yarn store, we wind a LOT of yarn. The Caker is effective, efficient, and durable. It’s an essential addition to any yarn store and a welcome tool for high-volume home knitters (or anyone who appreciates a beautiful cake of yarn!) The service and support are also absolutely top-notch.

C’est le plus beau cadeau que je pouvais me faire, fonctionne à merveille, fait des cakes parfaits facile d’utilisation! J’avais vue le fonctionnement dans plusieurs boutique de laine qui l’utilise pour les clients et je me suis dit wow, faire des cakes en buvant mon café ahah!
Il vaut chaque dollars payés et le service est excellent!

Après 1 an d’utilisation intensive en boutique, je suis très satisfaite du Caker. Je l’ai choisis parce qu’il est fabriqué localement et que les pièces sont disponibles facilement en cas de bris mais je n’ai eu aucun problème jusqu’à présent. Il prend peu de place, il est silencieux et solide. Je le recommande sans hésiter !

Des plus appréciés!
Les vitesses sont réglables et l’embobinage est régulier. Facile à installer, il tient bien en place. C’est un outil qui a été bien conçu pour répondre aux besoins des tricoteurs/tricoteuses … et québécois/canadien en prime! Le suivi de l’achat a été excellent.
Je ne saurai plus m’en passer. Je recommande le produit et l’entreprise sans hésitation.

J’adore travailler avec le Caker! Il est très bien fait et fonctionne très bien. J’ai eu un soucis avec le transformateur électrique et une personne m’a fait parvenir rapidement et sans frais un nouveau transfo! J’adore!

I love this Caker, it works great. I also learned about it from Clo Knits on YouTube.

I who doesn’t love cake?!
I purchased The Caker after watching a YouTube video by Clo Knits. Although it is a much pricier wool winder compared to the hand held or plastic electric winders, it is worth every penny. You can feel the quality right out of the box. Every cake I have wound has been perfect, even winding skeins of mohair. I have chronic pain in my neck and shoulders and having to wind a skein by hand would not allow me to knit for a day or two after. With The Caker, I can wind my skein in less than 2 minutes and get straight to knitting. Best of all, it is manufactured and shipped within Canada!

I’ve had my Caker for about 2 years and absolutely love it. I love the built in feature that stops the winder if it gets tangled on the swift. The only thing that would make it better is a lager cone add on. I’m a handspinner and tend to have larger hanks to cake.

I bought The Caker as I have an autoimmune disease whereas my muscles tire easily. I previously bought an inexpensive electric model that worked twice, before that I used a hand crank Caker.
While this is a Christmas gift from my husband, I have not used it yet. I can attest to research of this model, reaching out to a major LYS who uses The Caker with positive feedback. When I was ready to place my order there was some communication back and forth as I live in the USA, it fast and courteous.
The Caker arrived quickly and I will be delighted to return here after Christmas for an additional review!

I bought The Caker for my wife about 8 months ago, and she loves it. She’s an avid crocheter with many years of experience using every caker/winder under the sun. This is by far her favorite, and it gets used several times per week. My only complaint is a problem that plagues every winder she has used: sometimes the yarn gets tangled in the gears and it’s a bear to untangle. Like I said, it’s a common problem and I’m not sure what the solution would be. Other than that, The Caker is high-quality and made to last a lifetime. It’s a great product!
Barb (verified owner) –
I absolutely love my Caker. It’s a serious workhorse of a winder and has saved me from the randomness of my LYS cakes (often a mess) and serious strain on my shoulder. The tension is great, the cakes are neat, and I love the variable speed. I had a user error initially and contacted Romarin by email and we resolved it the same day. I’ve recommended it to several friends and the LYS. I think a heavier-duty version (bigger motor/heat sink) would be very popular for shops that wind for their customers.
Paulette Meijer (verified owner) –
I saw the Caker in action while visiting a shop in Canada and asked how to order it immediately. The caker is a lifesaver at our shop. It saved me from another round of physical therapy from cranking so many hanks. quick order turnaround.

Great helper to the knitter! Very powerful and makes winding a breeze!

The Romarin Caker was a game changer for my practice 🙂 I spent a lot of time reviewing what my options were for yarn winding and was so happy to find the Caker as it checked off many of the things I was hoping for. It’s made with high quality metal parts with a variable speed motor, it securely attached to my bench, the tension arm is stable, and it has replaceable parts which in turn allows me to hopefully repair it in the future or replace parts as needed. Perhaps most important of all is that it works wonderfully in winding yarn- I also like that it is not too loud.
My only limitation with the Caker is size (can only wind as much of a yarn before your cake will bump into the tension arm. But this is a pretty large sized cake.). 🙂 love it- I have had mine for over a year and use it /a lot/ with no issues.

I’ve had this for a while now and I love it! I like the variable speed and it makes great cakes too!
Martha Barnes –
I’ve had my cakes for over a year now and it make’s beautiful cakes and no more stress on the upper arm from cranking the Manuel style. I highly recommend this machine it provides much ease and comfort in making yarn cakes
Raymond (verified owner) –
We have been using The Caker now for around 3 months and are absolutely in love with it. We have tried every winder out there from inexpensive to expensive manual and electric ones costing several hundreds and they were all faulty. The Caker produces the best cakes. The quality put into it is evident. This winder is perfect and we are very pleased.
Kathy (verified owner) –
I had a hand crank winder for over 20 years and finally decided to get an electric one. The first one I tried made a mess of my yarn cakes, was plastic and big. A friend told me about the caker so I ordered one and I love it! It winds beautiful tidy cakes, feels solid (not plastic) and isn’t bulky. I leave it on my yarn table all the time for quick small leftover yarn cakes. I highly recommend the caker.
Sabrina (verified owner) –
I’m using the caker a lot and it still works perfectly. After a piece broke a while ago it was no problem to order a replacement which is even an improved version.
Betty DeLargy (verified owner) –
I love my Caker. The footprint is small so fits easily on my craft table. The cakes are perfect. I reached out to customer service about a small issue late last evening and the reply with super helpful information was waiting when I opened my email around 5 Am today–amazing!
Doris Flandorfer (verified owner) –
It’s so great to work with the caker!!!

I bought my caker many years ago and it has been amazing. About a year in I did break the center piece, but I reached out through customer service and was immediately helped with replacement parts and easy instructions on how to fix my caker. I love when items can be fixed to extend their life. My caker has worked wonderfully for many years since the incident and I am very happy with it and the customer service. 10/10 yarn winder!
Louise Thieme (verified owner) –
What a great winder! Makes perfect yarn balls. No big learning curve on how to use it. Absolutely happy with the product!

I’m so glad I treated myself with a “caker”! It makes the most beautiful cakes and it’s effortless. I just got it and I already know it’s going to change my life. I love that you can chose your speed so if you have a sticky yarn like mohair you can just lower the speed a tiny bit and have a really nice tension in your cake. And the design is soooo cute!
