Swift, Dude!

This is the new oak yarn swift I bought on Ebay from TheKnitStore. Simple design, good craftsmanship and...it works like a charm. That cashmere/silk knit tank I recycled the yarn from went on this first. I put the ball of yarn I'd wound into a large jar and then attached one end of the yarn to one of the pegs and started winding. Here is the swift with a hank of Campfire laceweight on it. You can see the ball winder in the distance.

  1. I've wanted a swift for a long time. I guess I need to check out ebay.

    I love the color of the yarn that you've chosen!

  2. Thanks, Jenni. Actually my best friend, Catherine picked the color. It's for her Pi R Square shawl.

  3. I will have to save up and get one of those, would make winding my yarn so much easier. I marked their ebay site so I can do that. Thanks :)
