## Description

Product description Knit Picks Yarn Swift An essential tool for any knitter or crocheter, the Yarn Swift holds your hanks or skeins of yarn in place as you wind them into balls. Simply clamp the swift onto a table or counter top to start winding yarn neatly and easily. Made from durable Birch wood, for a smart and modern style that will give pleasant palpitations to even the most discerning crafters. For added durability, the swift features metal hardware. The metal screws feature a plastic stopper at the end to prevent scratches when clamping the swift onto a table. Fits a table, counter, or any surface up to 1-1/2” thick. Measures approx. 26" (66cm) in diameter (68"/173cm circumference) and 26" (66cm) tall when open. How to use Yarn Swift (best when used in tandem with Knit Picks Ball Winder) Secure swift to table top or counter up to 1-1/2” thick with bottom clamp. Be sure there is enough clearance around the swift for the umbrella to fully open and spin freely. Untwist your yarn. It should come in a nicely twisted figure 8 hank, and when it is untwisted, it will look like a big loop of yarn. Leave the ties in place for now, as they will keep your loose hank from tangling. Drape the open hank over the closed swift and pull it lightly to hold it at the center of the ribs. Open the swift like an umbrella, pushing the runner up the center shaft until your loose yarn hank is held firmly around the swift. Holding the runner in place, slide the center clamp up and tighten it under the runner, securing the swift in the open position. Make sure your yarn is not twisted anywhere around the swift, and cut the ties around the hank. Find the end of the yarn and pull, and the swift should spin freely. Wind with a ball winder or by hand!

Review: Handy tool to have! - Amazing tool to have! Super smooth winder. If only it comes with different finishing. The only sound you can hear it’s from my Caydo electric winder. Both works perfectly together. Great workmanship ship and folds away conveniently into the box. It doesn’t shake and secures nicely on my island. On the pricey side but I would say it’s great investment compared to using your chair or knees. Don’t have to deal with knots or tangle issues.
Review: Perfect!!!! - Amazing gadget!!!! I have used it everyday since getting it. Wonderful. Surprisingly strong. Very smooth spin. Love haw adjustable it is. Have used this to make Hanks to be dyed. Then, after dyeing, have made perfect cakes It's perfect!!!
