Description
This Medium size yarn swift is made of solid wood and finished by extra fine sanding (no toxic varnish fume). The Medium size can hold skeins up to 6-ft in circumference. It spins smoothly and makes yarn winding a fun job. The clamp-on base allows it to be firmly fixed at the edges of tables, chairs, benches, or any other convenient locations. It fits edges up to 1-3/4 inches thick. The craftsmanship on this yarn swift is superb. We avoid wood pieces with scars or blemishes so that our yarn swifts are less vulnerable to breakage and more appealing aesthetically. The ends of metal tying wires are hidden into holes and will never hurt your hands or the yarn.

Easy to use. Purchased the smaller model and find its more than enough for me. Dyers might like the larger.

Q: Since I’m a first time buyer the website indicated that I would receive a 10% discount which brought the total to about $36. I did not see this at checkout.
So I held up paying until I know if I’m getting the discount. When is the discount reflected?
Thank you.

Q: The yarn tends to get caught on the strings holding the outside ends ot the swift while winding. How can I avoid this?

A: Thanks a lot for your inquiry. If you adjust the height of the swift and/or the distance from the swift to ball winder, you may avoid yarn being caught on the swift. Please call us at 1-888-670-5570 if you need us to walk you through.

Q: How many yarns can the medium Stanwood Swift handle? Can it hold a 1200 yard hank as long as it's not wider than 6' in circumference? Thank you in advance for your help.

A: Thanks a lot for your inquiry. The swift should be able to handle a reasonable amount of yarn. I would say if it is within 1.5 lbs, the swift should be able to handle it. I am not sure the weight of 1200 yds of your yarn. You will have to figure that number out.
