I'm so proud of dh - he has invented a folding swift for me. It is beech, sycamore and brass and oiled with linseed oil. It will deal with skeins up to 72" long and has slightly curved pegs to hug the skein to help prevent it slipping. I love it!!!!

It's fabulous, I didn't realise it would fold up, that's even better.
You need a website!
