Wool winder versus yarn swift

A ball winder gathers yarn into a usable ball. A Yarn Swift supports the opened loop of a hank as the strand is drawn from it. The two tools perform different jobs; this listing is for the Wool Winder, not a Swift-and-Winder Combo.

Preparing your yarn

Follow the winder's supplied instructions for setup and threading. Open your hank and support the loop before winding, carefully remove its ties and locate the working end. Wind steadily and stop to release any snags rather than pulling against resistance.

Before you buy

Need a particular yarn capacity or a specific fit for your workspace? Ask Apple Yarns to confirm the winder's capacity, dimensions and mounting requirements before ordering. Those specifications are not provided in this listing.
