Do I Need a Yarn Swift and Winder?
Recently I bought several hanks of hand dyed yarns and I quickly realized how challenging it was to wind them by hand. I tried to wind the first hank by hand but it got really tangled. It took me a couple of hours just to untangle the yarn. Needless to say, by that time, I was too tired to crochet with my beautiful new yarn! The second hank was a little easier because I wrapped it around the back of a chair and carefully wound the yarn into a ball. Not bad – BUT I found a yarn swift and ball winder on line! Let me just say – it is AMAZING and made winding my beautiful yarn so much easier!!!
If you’ve never seen a yarn swift and winder in action, here’s how it works!
