Using the Mini Minder is super easy. Just place your yarn ball on the base. As you start knitting or crocheting and pull the yarn, the Mini Minder will spin effortlessly, keeping your yarn tangle - free. When you're on the go, you can easily carry it with your crafting supplies. Be careful not to drop it from a high place as it may break, especially if it's made of acrylic. To clean it, simply use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Wipe it gently to keep it looking nice. That's all there is to it! Enjoy your crafting with the Mini Minder.
