Want to see the swift in action? I had some inquiries as to how it actually worked… so here it is!

Yarn comes like so:

Or possibly like this:

Gently untwist it into a large circle:

Attach your swift to a stable surface (I used a heavy book shelf, so it wouldn’t budge)

Expand your swift, but not all the way:

Lift your yarn and put it around the swift, making sure not to get it hooked on the edges. No tangles!

Find your end:

Start making a ball:

Keep rolling, and voila! You’ve got yourself a ball of yarn!

And that’s my swift!
