Yarn Swift with Ball Bearing Base

Fiber Artist Supply Co. Yarn Swift

Since 2008, the Yarn Swift has been our flagship product—and it remains a favorite among fiber artists today. Designed for durability, ease of use, and versatility, it’s the perfect tool to make winding and unwinding yarn effortless.

Key Features

Durable Design: Built with a sealed metal ball bearing system for smooth, stable operation—unlike traditional wooden drives that can loosen or wobble over time.

Quality Materials: Crafted from maple and cabinet-grade plywood for long-lasting performance, without the high cost of umbrella-style swifts.

Versatile Functionality: Perfect for winding and unwinding yarn (even directly from the floor). Doubles as a light-duty skein winder, with adjustable pegs to handle skeins of 24", 36", 48", 60", or 72" circumference.

Secure Base: Outfitted with Made in USA rubber feet to prevent slipping during use.

What’s Included:
Maple Yarn Swift
2x Hex wrenches (5mm and 4mm)
6x hardwood dowels

Pairs well with the Maple Jumbo Yarn Ball Winder or Diva Power Winder. 

Each swift is individually handcrafted in our Cincinnati, OH workshop. (Yarn not included.)
