Yarn Swift Umbrella with Case

GREAT PRODUCT>>GREAT PRICE>>GREAT NEXT DAY DELIVERY>>EASY TO SET UP AND USE>>REALLY DOES SPEED THINGS UP>>WILL USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN>>MANY THANKS..

Genuinely impressed with this yarn swift, for the current price of £21.99. A reasonable price to pay in order to save a lot of bother. I always found winding skeins/hanks of yarn into balls, with no assistance (mechanical or human) to be a nuisance of tangles and frustration, gritted teeth and much swearing. But have now winded skeins/hanks of yarn into neat balls using this new yarn swift I've bought. It's easy and lovely to use and saves such a lot of time and frustration. Makes it a relaxing, pleasing experience. It's easy and intuitive to set up and use. May be of practical use to readers: the product description says: "The table clamp or clip is 1.75" (use it on a table thinner than 1.75"/4.5cm)" - but by being careful with the screw/clamp bit, it does sit firmly on my table that is full 5cm thickness. It folds up neatly again - it works just like an umbrella - and I had no trouble fitting it back into its compact storage box. Glad I bought it.

Great value for this price. Unfortunately the metal loops don't hold the rings well in place. So after each time it is folded out again the rings need to be put in place. The blue plastic tubes aren't sturdy so it doesn't cut into the yarns, but also doesn't keep the tension while winding. The skein will go down the umbrella, but doesn't fall off. While winding the umbrella gives some resistence, so it pulls on the yarn which makes the final cake tighter. Which is great, but with very fragile yarns need to be paid attention to. But all in all this is a great item and I'm very glad of owning it. Large skeins (Atelier Zitron Yak) fits on this. The clamp is great for a variability of table sizes and really sturdy. Even though the metal loops might catch the wool, they don't break them. Makes great tight cakes. Has a fabulous plastic cover to store the umbrella yarn holder and keep it dust free. Doesn't take much space which is great. And the umbrella is easily adjusted in height/width.

Great

Love this, I had a wooden one but trying to get the yarn skein organised to stay put whilst opening it was so difficult but this with its umbrella action is so easy! It was very reasonably priced and works so well, it turns smoothly whilst winding yarn and even has its own case which is good as it keeps it dust free and safe from breakage! Highly recommend this both for price and smooth action! Glad I changed, expensive is not always the way forward as this was incredibly low priced for such efficiency!

I already had a yarn winder but my husband had been complaining about acting as a yarn swift. I spent about 6 months looking on amazon and other sites but couldn't find a swift that had reviews without a fair amount of negative ones, until now. I used this swift on a hank yesterday, as the other reviews said instructions were confusing I didn't bother with them. I had to loosen the clamp screw before I could put up the swift but everything else was really straightforward - the swift arms expand like an umbrella and you can change the size to fit your yarn, the clamp easily screwed securely to the side table I was using, no wobbling, and it rotated really smoothly in both directions - faster than i could wind it. I had pre-tangled the hank a bit by accident, so when I first started, I rang across a lot more snags. I stopped and unwound then used the other end of the yarn and it went much more smoothly - I did have to stop occasionally but I found it easy to free the tangles by loosely spinning it both ways. I don't know if skeins have a direction but if you are struggling I suggest trying winding from the other end. Arrived in a hard plastic box so protected from bending/plastic parts breaking which was great. It was a tight fit so I have decided not to bother putting back in the box in case I snapped some of the plastic bits, you will probably need a bit of patience if you want to store it like that. Amazing item, wish i'd found it sooner

This is a very handy thing to own if you buy yarn in skeins rather than balls. It’s a little flimsy feeling, but certainly works well enough for me - it took only minutes, using this in conjunction with the yarn winder (which you can buy separately), to wind several skeins into usable balls of yarn. Needs a bit of help in guiding the yarn from the Swift to the winder, but very easy. It fits nicely on the edge of my table and has made my life so much easier! For the price it’s good value

Simple to set up and use. Absolutely delighted and totally worth the money. Was sceptical to start with as originally wanted a wooden one but this works perfectly, isn't extortionate in price like the wooden ones and comes in a plastic tube for storage. Used it 3 times the first day I received it and so simple. Hands down beats trying to unwind a skein on the back of a chair. Spending £20 will save you hours of having to untangle yarn. Believe me.

Indicato solo per piccoli lavori, i bracci si staccano continuamente rendendo difficoltoso il montaggio e l uso, l attacco troppo piccolo lo rende instabile

Lo compré para recabar hilo de seda Me a encantado y está de muy buen precio

Ce dévidoir à écheveaux rivalise sans problème avec les dévidoirs-parapluies en bois. Il se fixe facilement à une table, une étagère, ou même un dossier de chaise grâce au serre-joint. Une rotule permet de l'incliner obliquement, et d'ajuster sa hauteur. L'étui en plastique facilite le rangement.

Die Haspel schaut zuerst nicht sehr stabil aus. Nach Befestigung und Aufspannen surrt sie aber leichtgängig und widerstandslos. Bei zu schnellem Wickeln dreht sie sich schneller als der Wickler. Händische Führung des Fadens hilft. Stränge unterschiedlicher Garnart lassen sich einfach und knotenfrei abwickeln. Dankeschön!
