Imperfect Colorwork Wheel 2.0 – Functional Seconds
Unlock your creative potential with the Colorwork Wheel V2.0—a 3D-printed tool designed to keep multiple yarn cakes organized and untangled during your colorwork projects. Made from durable PLA+/PLA Pro, this upgraded version features improved stability and a refined yarn guide to make your crafting experience smoother and more enjoyable.
This tool is perfect for colorwork techniques like tapestry, floating, fair isle, and other methods where all yarns are carried together.
❗ Not compatible with intarsia colorwork techniques.
***V2.0 2025 vs. 2024: The 2025 version features an upgraded stand-to-base connection for enhanced stability. For the 2024 version, we recommend adding super glue (suggested: Loctite Gel Control) to the base if extra support is needed. Both versions may contain a 2024 version center peg.

If your wheel feels unsteady (due to uneven yarn weights or surfaces), place a small paperweight on the base for added stability.
