Description
I tested a $150 iCord maker for a week — here's how fast it really is, what yarns it can actually handle, and whether it's worth the money for anyone who crochets. Caydo sent me this machine to test, and I'm showing you exactly what happened.In this video I put the Caydo iCord Maker Pro through three tests. It costs about $150 and its entire job is making i-cord, so I wanted to know: does it actually work, how much time does it save over making i-cord by hand, and would I ever pull this thing out again after this video?What's in the video:
• First look and threading — how steep the learning curve really is
• The speed test: machine i-cord vs. i-cord made by hand, timed side by side
• The yarn test: #2 sport, #3 DK, and #4 worsted — which ones feed smoothly
• What to actually make with all that cord — I turn it into a finished project
• The use I didn't expect: turning leftover yarn into handles, drawstrings, and trim
• The honest negatives — threading, dropped stitches, noise, finishing the ends
• The $150 verdict, and the one question I ask about every craft gadgetIf you make bags, straps, ties or drawstrings — or you sell finished pieces — that changes the math. If you'd use i-cord twice a year, it probably doesn't.Disclosure: Caydo sent me this machine and paid me to test it. Everything I show you is what I actually experienced using it.
