FYI: A lot of us long for the large wooden swift that makes HANKS of yarn into CAKES of yarn ‘in a minute’ instead of an hour or more!
Joann’s (.com) has the lrg wooden swift on sale from $82 to $49…just in case you’ve been waiting for a good sale to come along!
Another gadget that expedites the transformation of HANKS into CAKES is the BALL WINDER by KnitPicks. The SWIFT [U]holds the yank[/U] for you, the ball winder [U]creates the CAKE[/U] for you. They work together.
It takes 20 minutes to convert 10 yanks into 10 cakes.
From a HANK
To a CAKE
in minutes!
A ‘cake’ can be knit from the ‘center pull’ end!
