Using the Lemonwood Mini Minder is easy. Just place your yarn on it and start pulling the yarn as you knit or crochet. The Mini Minder will spin freely to give you a smooth yarn - pulling experience. When using it, make sure to place it on a flat surface to prevent it from tipping over. For maintenance, simply wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. If it's made of acrylic, avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface. Keep it away from sharp objects to prevent damage. Enjoy your crafting with the Mini Minder!
