My diy yarn swift

My diy yarn swift




So I needed a yarn swift and did not want to spend much, nor did I want to wait for one to arrive in the mail.  I found this on the internet and since I had everything I needed to build it, I made one!  It works great!!!  Next I need to figure out how to make a ball winder.  Any suggestions?

Isn't my yarn beautiful (for a beginner)

  1. Your yarns is beautiful and a love your yarn swift. Since I don't have a yarn swift (I tried once to build one out of yard sticks) I am going to make a twin for me!

  3. How do you get the swift to rotate? What do you use as a base?

  4. I place the whole thing into a large flat bottomed bowl and that is enough to keep it in place while it just spins inside the bowl.
