Yarn Swifts

Handmade from lightweight softwood. Perfect for your yarn management needs!
Tired of putting your family members through the "ordeal" of holding your freshly purchased skein of yarn while you wind it into a ball? The yarn swift is an essential tool for knitters, spinners, weavers, dyers and anyone who working with yarn. The adjustable pegs hold your yarn in place while the arms spin around to allow you to wind your skein into a ball without tears or tanglement. Need to create a skein of yarn? Simply tie one end of your yarn onto a peg, position the other pegs at the required length and spin the swift, winding your yarn into a nice round skein.

Lightweight and versatile, these handcrafted yarn swifts weigh approximately 650g (1.6 oz) and will hold a large skein (up to 1.5 metres/5 feet) and can also be used to skein yarn (turn your balls of yarn into skeins) for dyeing or storage. In addition to its light weight, this yarn swift is very portable: fold up the arms for travel or storage and away you go. Four adjustable peg positions on each arm give you a wide variety of fittings for practically any skein of yarn. Sanded to a smooth finish, the yarn swift is ready to use right out of the box.
