Swift and Winder


Swift and Winder
Originally uploaded by Sophy T. O'Donnell.
There was a time when I used to wind up all my yarn by hand... no winder and definitely no swift (I didn't even know what it was called!) Then, last year, my sister gave me a yarn winder. I thought it couldn't get any easier than this...

It used to take 45min to an hour, at least, to wind up each hank of yarn by hand... With the winder, I was able to get neat little balls of yarn in under 30minutes, unless of course it tangled. Now, it takes under a minute with the swift and winder working together! YAY!
