One day I might finally cave and buy a real yarn swift & winder, but for now this shall suffice
I assumed this was some kind of improvised water pipe.
Hahaha, no, just a low-budget way to wind hanks of yarn into cakes using a toilet paper roll!
That’s the cutest yarn swift I’ve ever seen. I bet no real one could keep up with it.
Aww thanks! It’s definitely the most cuddly! I didn’t originally buy this Squishmallow with this purpose in mind, but it turns other wings work well for holding the yarn in place. I’m definitely preferring this to using the legs of an upside-down chair or two glasses on a table (other makeshift swift replacements I’ve heard of) for sure.
Yarn winder is awesome. It’s so fun to watch it make a pattern.
Definitely! Just currently trying to save more $$ and space for more yarn, and I kinda actually enjoy the hand-winding,
