Simply clamp the swift onto a table or counter top to start winding yarn neatly and easily. Made from durable Birch wood, for a smart and modern style that will give pleasant palpitations to even the most discerning crafters. For added durability, the swift features metal hardware. The metal screws feature a plastic stopper at the end to prevent scratches when clamping the swift onto a table. Fits a table, counter, or any surface up to 1-1/2” thick. Measures approx. 26" (66cm) in diameter (68"/173cm circumference) and 26" (66cm) tall when open. How to use Yarn Swift (best when used in tandem with Knit Picks Ball Winder) Secure swift to table top or counter up to 1-1/2” thick with bottom clamp. Be sure there is enough clearance around the swift for the umbrella to fully open and spin freely. Untwist your yarn. It should come in a nicely twisted figure 8 hank, and when it is untwisted, it will look like a big loop of yarn. Leave the ties in place for now, as they will keep your loose hank from tangling. Drape the open hank over the closed swift and pull it lightly to hold it at the center of the ribs. Open the swift like an umbrella, pushing the runner up the center shaft until your loose yarn hank is held firmly around the swift. Holding the runner in place, slide the center clamp up and tighten it under the runner, securing the swift in the open position. Make sure your yarn is not twisted anywhere around the swift, and cut the ties around the hank. Find the end of the yarn and pull, and the swift should spin freely. Wind with a ball winder or by hand! ## Features - GREAT FOR CRAFTING: This Knit Picks Yarn Swift holds your hanks or skeins of yarn as you wind them into balls and folds down for compact and convenient storage - EASY TO ASSEMBLE: Simple clamp holds swift in place easily on any table or surface up to 1 1/2'' thick, and umbrella opens up to fit most standard-sized yarn hanks - BEAUTIFUL WOOD: Made of durable Birch wood for a natural feel and simple style - DURABLE CONSTRUCTION: Metal hardware adds durability and polish, with plastic stopper to prevent scratches and damage when clamping swift to a table - KNIT PICKS EXCLUSIVE: For best results, use with the Knit Picks Yarn Ball Winder to make tidy, convenience center pull cakes ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00NFXWH2S | | Best Sellers Rank | #12,460 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #8 in Weaving Ball Winders | | Brand | Knit Picks | | Brand Name | Knit Picks | | Color | Birch | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 847 Reviews | | Item Length | 66.04 Centimeters | | Item Weight | 1.46 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Knit Picks | | Material | Birch Wood | | Material Type | Birch Wood | | Product Care Instructions | Machine Wash | | UPC | 609132305498 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Knit Picks - **Color:** Birch - **Item Length:** 66.04 Centimeters - **Item Weight:** 1.46 Pounds - **Manufacturer:** Knit Picks - **Material:** Birch Wood - **Number of Packs:** 1 - **Product Care Instructions:** Machine Wash - **UPC:** 609132305498 - **Unit Count:** 1.0 Count ## Images ![Birch Swift - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51oUeQQeZ2L.jpg) ![Birch Swift - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rhEpg+E5L.jpg) ![Birch Swift - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41MuKaBgxrL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Material Type** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***. on April 10, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***R on March 11, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by H***Y on January 9, 2026* --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/9038181-birch-swift](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/9038181-birch-swift) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
