What Does a Yarn Swift Do?
A yarn swift holds your hank or skein of yarn in an expanded position while you wind it into a ball or cake. The swift rotates smoothly as you pull yarn from the skein, maintaining even tension and preventing tangles. Here's how it works:
Clamp the swift to a table edge
Open the swift's arms to match your skein size
Place the yarn loop around the arms
Remove the ties holding the skein together
Wind your yarn while the swift rotates freely, delivering a smooth feed
This simple but essential process transforms those beautiful but unwieldy hanks into workable balls that won't tangle or knot during your projects.
