Knit Picks Yarn Swift - Red Padauk

Meet the yarn swift crafted from luxurious, responsibly sourced Padauk wood. Known for its striking, deep reddish-orange hue, Padauk brings warmth and vibrancy to your crafting space. Not just beautiful, this hardwood is durable and smooth, providing the perfect balance of strength and grace as it effortlessly spins your yarn into tidy, tangle-free cakes. Elevate your knitting experience with this stunning blend of beauty and practicality.

To use the Red Padauk hardwood yarn swift, simply clamp the swift onto a table using the lower screw to begin. Next, starting with the umbrella in the down position, place the open loop of the hank over the swift, and pull it lightly so the far side of the hank is against the center of the umbrella. Then, use your free hand to slide up the umbrella clamp and open the umbrella to snuggly fit the circumference of the hank. Finally, secure the umbrella clamp in place using the screw clamp, and you’re ready to wind your yarn either by hand or with a ball winder!

Measures approx. 26" (66cm) in diameter (68"/173cm circumference) and 26" (66cm) tall when open. Clamp opening fits tables up to 1 1/2" thick.

Note:  We recommend preparing your swift for its first use by wiping down the wood spokes with a damp cloth as the oily finish that provides smooth rotation can transfer in shipping. Because this is a natural material, the color and pattern will vary slightly from piece to piece.
