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)
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!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you have found a yarn winder or not yet, but maybe check this diy one out. http://pieceful-moments.blogspot.ch/2011/09/another-diy-yarn-winder.html (not mine,spotted on pinterest)
ReplyDeleteHow do you get the swift to rotate? What do you use as a base?
ReplyDeleteI 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.
