Yarn Swift,Wooden Umbrella Swift Yarn Winder, Wood Swift Yarn Holder,24" Hand Crafted Skein & Hanks Winder | Knitting Crochet

Looks OK but a little wobbly and difficult to open and get the skein on. Then once that is done the damned thing needs to be turned by hand cos it won't turn freely enough. I was going to buy a ball winder too but honestly it wouldn't work with this swift. The best it does is to replace my husband's hands so I can wind a ball by hand alone, but it is not the efficient gadget I thought it would be. Be aware before buying that you are prepared for a squeaky and creaky swift with (at best) dodgy screw fixings and no desire to turn unaided. Good luck.

Really good value product. Cheaper than many similar but just as useful.

Easy to use and when closed takes up very little storage space.

This item is very easy to use and turns skeins into balls very quickly.

This, combined with a yarn winder, means you can turn wool that comes in hanks into easy-to-use balls. It's easy to set up, clamps to a table, then folds down for easy storage. Even without a ball winder (although I'd recommend getting one), you can hand-wind balls without tangling.

This, in combination with a yarn ball winder, makes skein to ball super fast. It’s so easy to use that I won’t hesitate to buy hand dyed yarns in future.

I am so glad that l bought this item it easy to used and this is the best buy that l ever had Now l can use the spin my yarns

does exactly as described. Very very happy - works well with the knit pro wool winder.
