Sunflower Swift


When you buy beautiful yarn, you want to use the best equipment with it. We wanted to make something that would be sturdy and long lasting, but something that was tactile and beautiful at the same time. And here it is. An exquisite piece of craftsmanship, that will make the job of winding up skeins a joy .



These swifts are made from ethically sourced solid hardwood. They are made from a combination of beech, ash and sycamore. The centre spindle and washer are made from solid brass. The swift comes with 5 pegs so you have 1 spare (in case you lose one!). The pegs are cleverly designed with a gentle curve, which hugs the skein of yarn as the swift revolves, helping to prevent slipping.











The swift has felt on the base, which protects the surface it stands on and helps to prevent it from sliding around while in use. The swift will accomodate a skein up to 72" in circumference, and the peg holes are placed 1" apart to encompass most skein sizes. The swift folds up neatly when not in use, for easy storage. It comes finished, oiled and polished, and just needs the occasional flick of a duster for upkeep.


These swifts are priced at £40.00 each.
P&P for the UK is £5.00, and for international buyers it is £14.00.
