This swift is more like a piece of artwork than any other I have seen. (Now I kind of wish to have one like this myself, because it stores way easier than mine – which is a perfectly beautiful and well working swift, too, I might add.)

Oh I am so jealous . The yarn swift looks like a piece of artwork. And like others have said, your choice of yarn is always perfect. Have fun with Lutea!

OOh, that’s a nice swift. It’s not like the one I was thinking at all. I bet it’s fine for the fingering yarns. The ones I have at the shop are bigger and bulkier and a little heavier. They should have bearings in them! I did have some like yours, and I really loved them, but now I don’t know where to get them

And yup, ball winders are really nice and quick!

See you soon! Hickory

You have to get the ball winder-it will change your life for the better and cut your winding time in at least half…I love the Blue Sky Cotton and you chose one of my favorite colors…
Thank Your for the kind words in regards to my Lucy–She is part Boarder Collie, Shepherd and who knows what else…I rescued her almost 10 years ago after I was broken into while I was sleeping. This was the second time this happened to me and I was not hurt either time but the police said “get a dog” both times—so I figured I was not going to tempt fait and I had Lucy with in the week…Something really good came from those break ins….

I totally want a yarn swift and my husband did try hard to get me an antique one on ebay for my birthday but it didn’t happen! So I still do it around my knees or the back of a chair…I kind of like it.
I love the colour of the blue sky. I just knit up a swatch of their organic cotton and it is so soft!!
