Elegant design and beautiful finish

Great product if you like wooden sails. I like the turnbuckle that secures it to surfaces. The only gripe is that it can only work vertically compared to other swifts that can turn horizontally. This is a minor limitation and does not make this product any less functional. I'm enjoying this Swift more than any I've ever had! Get one!

Pros
  • Weaving & Spinning
Cons
  • Only available in black

Pretty fast BUT.

Soft rotation not possible. Right in the middle position where most of the strands are to be wrapped! It's so sticky and doesn't spin smoothly. I thought maybe he needed to "warm up" or something. but I wrapped sweaters for the crowd + several other skeins and everything is the same. I also tried some coconut oil on the problem area. I'll have to get some sandpaper which will definitely ruin the nice black finish. The box and everything was already recycled, otherwise I would have sent it back.

Pros
  • Ball winder
Cons
  • Unsafe

I love this yarn Swift

I would have given 5 stars but my original order was damaged and I had to return it for a replacement. The exchange process was pretty good as I took it to the local Kohl shop where it was boxed and shipped back. My replacement arrived on time. As for the product, I don't know why I waited so long for it. It was easy to set up and use. This worked great with my new ball of yarn and was a lot easier than trying to wrap the ball by hand. I used the Swift with the Knit Picks Ball Winder andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Arts, Crafts & Sewing
Cons
  • Out of fashion
