Using the Mini Minder is a breeze. Just place your yarn ball on the base and start pulling the yarn. As you do, it will spin freely, preventing tangles. When you're done crafting, you can easily store it away. It's light and portable, so you can take it with you wherever you go. For maintenance, just wipe it clean with a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the natural birch plywood or clear acrylic. Also, keep it away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to ensure its longevity.
