The KnitPro Natural Swift holds a hank of yarn open so you can wind it into a cake without tangles. It's made from FSC-certified beechwood with a smooth finish.
It's an umbrella-style swift: it opens and closes quickly and folds down neatly for storage. A strong clamp holds it firmly to the table, and the smooth finish lets it turn evenly for winding and unwinding.
It suits knitters and crocheters of any level who buy hanked yarn and want winding to be quick and easy.
Good for
- Winding hanks into cakes
- Hand-dyed skeins
- Reskeining yarn for washing or dyeing
- Small spaces, since it folds away
Using it
KnitPro pairs it with its ball winders, such as the Natural Ball Winder. Untwist the hank, open the swift until the yarn is snug but not stretched, and snip only the ties. Find the outer end and feed it to the winder. If the hank starts to tangle, stop and ease it free before carrying on; winding through a tangle only tightens it.
Looking after it
Wipe the wood with a dry cloth and keep it out of damp and direct sun. Close it fully before storing, and don't overtighten the clamp.
