Scheepjes Umbrella Swift Yarn Winder Adjustable Beech Wood Dia. 75cm

Hand-dyed yarns have become very fashionable and come in beautifully spun hanks. It's not just hand-dyed yarn that comes in hanks, though, so if you're a knitter or crocheter, you're likely to come across a hank that needs to be wound into skeins before you can knit or crochet with it.

With a yarn swift, you don't need a set of helping hands to turn the yarn from hanks to skeins - the yarn swift does it for you.

How do you use a Scheepjes yarn swift?

This model is clever because it can be attached to the table, leaving both hands free to make your skein. You can make it by hand or use your umbrella yarn swift together with a wool winder that makes perfect skeins ready for use.

Once you've attached the yarn swift to the table, fold the arms in a little so you can put the unfolded hank on and stretch the arms out so the yarn is secure and doesn't tangle when it's time to make skeins.

If you knit or crochet as a hobby and have a taste for beautiful yarn, you'll really enjoy a beechwood yarn swift from Scheepjes - it's not only practical, it's also beautifully made and saves you a lot of time.
