Lacis Umbrella Swift - Reeling Machine - Umbrella Swift - Plastic and Metal Reviews

This yarn swift is just beautiful. It's very well made and it will last a lifetime. I bought this on a whim as I already have a table top swift & I am SO glad I did. It's worth every penny, Easy to use, easy to set up, spins effortlessly and it's pretty too! Don't think twice just get it!

I had a plastic Umbrella swift that lasted a few years, when it finally broke. When it came time to buy a new one, after trying to wind hanks over a chair back, I knew a wooden umbrella swift was the one to buy. I knew the Large Wooden Umbrella would be strong, not break easily, and not bend. I've used it several times since I received it, and I love it. I totally recommend the wooden swift for anyone who knits or does needle work. Yarn often comes in hanks,and now I can wind it into a ball quickly, as soon as I get it. It is worth the money to get the wooden swift.

I've had a ball winder for a while but no swift. I was worried that the yarn may still get tangled with a swift. Priority post to Australia is expensive so it took me a while to convince myself I needed one. Let me tell you it is worth every single penny - it is just amazing. So simple and quick to use. The yarn effortlessly came off the swift onto the ball winder. Perfect!

I've had several swifts but this is THE ONE! no need to shop anymore

I should have bought this long ago. It is permanently on my coffee table with my ball winder.

I love this thing. I pulled it out of the box and had it set up and ready to use maybe 5 minutes. It's smooth and holds my yarn hanks perfectly.

love it. When I think of the hours I have spent winding my own hanks!!!

This is so quick and easy to set up and use. Of course watching Jeannie's video helped a lot. It's simple to use and using it with the ball winder makes it a dream to get my yarn ready for knitting. Less time getting the yarn ready means more time for knitting.
