User questions & answers
Question: | how wide are the strips |
Answer: | Like everything else on Amazon it is over priced for the quality. That is so Amazon can finance terrorist groups! They continue to use the money you spend here to finance terrorist organizations. |
Question: | What size needles do you recommend? I am making a poncho. Thanks |
Answer: | Mine were about 3/4 of an inch wide. |
Question: | is mildew smell from silk or what? i just dont know what causes mildew in a yarn do u |
Answer: | You can if you want to. Use it for what? |
Question: | Is the pieces long enough I can use them to tie in signatures in a junk journal |
Answer: | No. these are just a Velcro wrap. I usually just connect the Velcro back around the cable when I loosen it. |
Question: | Did i use them wrong? they didn't stay as said. i put them on a full skein. but after i crochet some off they didn't stay snug |
Answer: | What really? |
Question: | Does the use of a tender mean I don’t have to wind a new skein before using? I am a bit confused. Thanks |
Answer: | Only as far as allowing you to bundle several wires together as they lay on the floor against the wall. You'd probably want to get some molded plastic "raceway" and attach that to the wall, then run the wires in that. Most are easily paintable to match the wall and would have self-stick adhesive to secure them to the wall. You could screw them down but be careful the screw heads don't chafe the wiring inside the raceway. You can also get some flat-ish ones you can run across a doorjam. Almost anything should handle speaker wires, and you can even get flat 'wire-tape' that you can stick to the wall and paint over for an almost invisible wire. |
Question: | What is this fabric made of |
Answer: | I don't think these are intended for exposure to weather. I would think plastic zip ties are a better choice for your purpose. |
Question: | What is this fabric made of |
Answer: | It's a better idea to use a strong bungee cord or two to secure a bike to a car rack and to keep the front tire from bouncing around. There's an excellent set here, on AMAZON.COM that would be an excellent choice. Low price and Prime eligible, the ASIN # B009ONI2B8. If I weren't so happy with the cables I have, I would order this set with various lengths of extra strong bungee cords. Good luck. |

User questions & answers
Question: | How much is on each spool |
Answer: | 33 yards |
Question: | Can ant of these be use reattach buttions to couch |
Answer: | You might be able to, but this is not really the right kit. You need a button backer and tufting needle, or there are other backers you can insert using needle nose plyers. Caviot: this info would be for a button going on the back of a couch. For a pillow, you need a needle long enough to get through the entire cushion. I am by no means am appolstery guy, so there may be lots of other options. |
Question: | Could this be used to fix stitching on a pop camper |
Answer: | I think so- It’s pretty heavy duty |
Question: | What super long needle/tool is needed to pull up filling in cushions |
Answer: | I used mine to repair a couch. I used the curved needle and it worked really well! |

Product description
If want no more snarling up yarn when wind balls off of hanks and skeins, you can use your non-winding hand to guide the yarn coming off the swift, and observe a speed limit to avoid over yarn hanging up on the hooks.
- WHY CHOOSE this yarn swifter - metal parts are thicker, sturdier than green ones. Dimensions: 21" x 19" x 17". The storage case is 17.5" x 2" x 2" (prevents it damaging by delivery and keeps it clean)
- WHAT'S THE ADVANTAGE - can be set up either horizontally or vertically! Better shaped, much lighter than the Wood Swift. Can be kept mounted on a table easily along with yarn ball winder.
- The table clamp or clip is 1.75" (use it on a table thinner than 1.75"/4.5cm), which holds the swift in place and spins freely as you wind skeins. The clamp doesn't love rounded edged table. It stays put fine, but not quite as strongly anchored as on an angular-edged table. Note the clamp will leave marks on a wood table. Cover with something protective.
- The metal construction means this knitting yarn swift folds up more compact than the wood ones. It's very light and easy to work with. The end is designed so you can put the swift at any angle you want. Once you figure out how to use the clamp it's easy to set up either horizontally or vertically. The size is easy to adjust and it runs smoothly. If you have limited table space, you can use this hanging off the table, without it getting in the way.
- The yarn swift tabletop is a workhorse. We have used the yarn swifts with different yarn weights from lace to Aran, and wound scads of skeins of everything from crochet cotton size 10 to a heavy worsted, and it's worked for all. It can rock a little when using the top handle, but nothing to make you discard it. You can use it to unravel sweaters from thrift shops to reuse the yarn (cashmere, wool, alpaca). We unravel the sweater directly to the swift, creating 60" hanks.
User questions & answers
Question: | I’m new to the yarn ball winder I plan on buying the large so I can wind 10 ounce skeins. What does the yarn umbrella swift actually do |
Answer: | Yes, ive done it, it works fine.i go pretty fast on the winder typically but with bulky warn and extra fine yarns i take it easy and put a hsnd very gently around the yarn as it enters the feeder (long metal rod, forst part of the device it touches) to ensure even tension throughout. You dont EVER want a too tight or too loose ball. One looses elasticity over time, the other just goes to pieces or creates knots when u work. |
Question: | Does this swift have ball bearings |
Answer: | It does have some noise to it but not a crazy amount. But that can be relative. If you're looking for silent this is def not it though. |
Question: | does This spinner support several sizes of skeins? Sometimes I get shorter/smaller ones and it’s hard to spin them into cakes |
Answer: | all 3 cogs are turning then the bracket for the arm isn't on or attached.in order for the 2 outer cogs to turn the little one is turning also. try tightening the arm bracket to the little cog. |
Question: | Exactly what is the function of this accessory |
Answer: | Germany I think. This is a very well built winder. I use it allot. |

Fiber Content
The fiber content of the yarn that's right for your project will likely be determined by its end use. Wool and silk yarns are great for warmth–think sweaters, scarves and blankets. Use cotton yarns for durability–great for fashion accessories, window treatments, and home decor accents.
Texture
A good rule of thumb is the more ornate the yarn, the simpler your project’s pattern or shape should be. Novelty yarns like boucle, marled, or variegated are perfect for shawls and blankets whereas more classic, plain varieties like smooth plied yarn are great for more stitching techniques.
Weight
Categorized by the thickness of the thread, yarn weights range from 0 to 7 or “lace” to “jumbo”. Use lighter weights (0-2) for socks and delicate baby apparel. Medium weights (3-4) are great for sweaters, scarves and light outerwear. Heavier weights (5-7) for best suited for blankets and rugs.

User questions & answers
Question: | Could i make yarn dreads with this yarn |
Answer: | Hi! Yes...it's super soft. So it's perfect for baby clothes and blankets, and great for amigurumi and soft dolls. Let me know if you need any help at all. |
Question: | What is the weight of the yarn |
Answer: | As the yarn is wound according to weight, there can be occasional joins. Most skeins have no joins at all...a few have one join. Hope that helps! |
Question: | I just want to make some "large" pom pom type things...would one of the skeins be enough for that? I would need to make maybe 6 or 7 pom poms |
Answer: | This is a lot of yarn. Definitely you could make two 48" by 48" baby blankets with this size yarn doing a basic garter or stockinette stitch. |
Question: | How long is each roll of yarn |
Answer: | This is a yarn weight #3. Super soft and fine sport/baby weight. It’s is finer than regular DK. |
