July 2021 update: The company has redesigned the base on the Ultra Umbrella Swift for a streamlined look. All of the Ultra Umbrella Swift’s features remain the same!
This is one of the tools that I use most often. I love that I can use it in an upright or horizontal position and that the part holding the yarn doesn’t collapse as the quantity lessons. That also makes it a great tool for winding skeins for dyeing. I am so pleased with the professional quality of this tool.
If you come to the shop you can see this product in action. Contact me if you want to hold a swift that is in stock now but plan to pick it up at the farm. If you order on line a shipping charge will be added. I don’t always have these in stock but will be glad to order for you.
