A lighter alternative to the wooden swifts, Bobbin Box's Umbrella Yarn Swift is used to hold a hank of yarn while it is being wound into a ball or cake with a yarn winder. The "umbrella" arms of this swift rotate around a central rod and have an adjustable diameter to hold hanks or skeins of many different sizes, while the clamp-on base allows it to be firmly fixed to the edge of tables, chairs, benches, or any other convenient locations. Incredibly easy to store, this swift folds down like an umbrella to save space and avoid damage.

To use your yarn swift:

1. Loosen the screw below the clamp at the base of the winder.
2. Attach to a suitable table or desk and tighten until the winder is sturdy.
3. Pinch the grip on the main shaft and position the arms to firmly hold your yarn.
4. Gently spin to check that your swift turns smoothly.
