Fiber Artist Supply Tabletop Yarn Swift Instructions

Looks like a great product. I like that it is made in the U.S., too many things aren't!

I Love both products. Great workmanship, fast delivery and great communication. Love the videos.

Thank you for showing how to wind onto the swift!!

Thanks for this excellent instructional video for your well-designed yarn swift. One thing did puzzle me though. In the reassembly instructions at the end (thanks for showing all that, btw), a comment is made regarding the importance of reinstalling the washer. The presenter states that if you don' install the washer, you'll be pressing the collar down on to the bearing when you tighten the assembly. Now I don't have one of these swifts and I've never seen one in the flesh. But from what I've seen, it looks like the washer just fits between the lower surface of the lower arm and the top of the shaft collar. How does placing the washer there prevent pressing the collar against the bearing?? Even with the washer, tightening the assembly must apply pressure to the 'top' of the shaft collar. What am I missing?

What keeps the swift from slipping around on the table when you're winding a skein? Is it weighted? Wouldn't it be easier on the hands to wind if a peg were placed near the center on one spoke? Could the swift be placed vertically, clamped onto a supporot, for skein winding?

.

Wish I bought this brand over another one that I found on Etsy last month. Reason being that the wood arms end just after the last peg. My last skein flopped off the ends constantly and it just got messy and I eventually had to slowly pick it over all 4 pegs. That would not happen with this brand. So I need to get 4 popsicle sticks and glue to bottom and extend 1.5 “ or drill into ends and glue in a chunk of dowel rod on each end. It will be ugly and functional. Unlike this one that is nice & functional. Also, mine could have been smoother too.

How much cost of it

Just used my swift and jumbo ball winder for the first time. Seamless. Absolutely seamless. Thank you for such beautiful products and thank you to @knittynatty for recommending your company!
