Rated 4.7 out of 5 — 15 verified reviews
Umbrella Swifts are made from birch, in two sizes, the regular size which holds skeins up to 72" around, and the large swift which holds skeins up to 100" around. They are constructed and finished to get the most appropriate surface for the yarn.
These are the original Swedish made swifts and not an imitation. Look for Sweden on the logo.
You can clamp these swifts to stand vertically, as shown. Or you can mount them horizontally which can make for easier un-winding. Use the swift in conjunction with the ball winder.

"Well made. It was what I was looking for. Just the right size for my needs. It moves easily and is easy to use. I'm glad I chose the smaller of the two sizes. I do love the wood finish. Very happy with this purchase. I would recommend this Swift."
"Wonderful swift. Wonderful quality that will last years. 100 percent wood, wood is exceptionally smooth, knobs are readily available should you need them. This a tool that will make any job easy. Made in Sweden where knitting and crochet is taught in 2nd grade and part of their culture. In other words made to last. I can even clamp on its side which makes it easier for skeins with attitude that can be difficult to get on a swift. I did buy the large and Im thankful I did as the first use showed me that I will have a swift that will stay me for years and for any project I want to achieve. Highly recommend, you wont regret."
"The best Swift ***** Happy & Grateful to own one🧶"
"This swift is a perfect size, adjustable, works smoothly and looks great!"
"Functionally unusable out of the box. Swift doesn’t rotate freely. Appears to need sanding and/or oiling/waxing to improve function. No instructions or literature provided, and there was no indication of need for preparing of the wood prior to use. Disappointed"
"Much larger than I wanted…. ."
"Beautiful, sturdy, everything I hoped for in a swift. I do a lot of spinning, dying, and plying commercial yarn, so I needed something that would accommodate a lot of yardage and this swift does that."
"Very smooth and reliable!"
"Super big size. LOVE it!!!"
"When used with a good winder this swift makes turning a skein of wool into a perfect cake quick and easy. The skein is held securely yet come off smoothly. Highly recommended."
