Description

This umbrella yarn swift is used to hold yarn as it is wound into a ball for knitting, crocheting, and weaving. Yarn was purchased in hanks, or wound into hanks after spinning at home. The swift secures on to the edge of a counter. The hank is then placed around the top umbrella-like feature and will open to hold the yarn in place.
