Handmade Swedish Wooden Yarn Swift - Perfect for Knitting, Crocheting & Crafting Projects | Durable & Smooth Yarn Winder for Home & Studio Use

I decided to spend a little more to buy the swift made in Sweden instead of the one made in China. This is a very functional little device. The wood is very finely sanded and smooth. All the screws are wood, but function very well, although I am sure someone could break them if they cranked them down with a heavy hand. That is not necessary, and if used with a ball winder the swift whirls so fast it's a blur as your skein unwinds, and you are done in a flash with a lovely center pull, cylindrical ball to show for it. It sure beats cajoling a eye-rolling son or husband to hold the skein while you wind by hand. Recommend.
