If I start dyeing or spinning yarn, I'm really going to need a yarn swift and ball winder. A yarn swift is a large wooden folding contraption that can extend or retract its arms to hold your hanks of yarn. It also has a center post that allows it spins around. You use it in conjunction with a ball winder. A ball winder is a small device that you manually crank. It pulls the yarn from a swift (causing the swift to turn) and wraps it around a post to create a nice, loose, yarn "cake."
I want one. Of each - a swift and a winder. I don't want to order them for myself right now because I feel like I've already been spending so much money. I probably will anyway. They're on sale on the Joann website - $41.99 for the swift, $34.99 for the nicer winder. OMG, they're on sale! I don't know how long these sales last for, but the website says yarn winders are on sale for 30% off this week, and that's why they are on sale. Combine that with the free shipping coupon (on orders over $35), anda 50% off one item coupon, and this could be a very good deal!
