When to choose it

You regularly convert skeins or hanks into neat cakes, split yarn, or rewind leftovers.

Before you buy

Clover lists up to 3.5 oz in the US, while its international page gives about 130 g for light knitting wool. For a US purchase, plan around the 3.5 oz limit; large skeins may need splitting. Keep a hank on a swift or another holder as you wind.
