Is there anywhere in Vancouver BC I can pay to have my yarn wound from a skein into a center pull ball?

Question

I'm sick of winding by hand!

The following link is to plans for creating one from an electric mixer:

Answer 2

find it on ebay

Answer 3

If you bought the yarn at a local yarn shop (LYS), they will probably wind it for free if you ask very nicely and they aren't super busy.

I highly recommend buying a ball winder (and a swift if you buy yarn in hanks):
