Beautiful Red Padauk Hardwood: Meet the Knit Picks 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.
Flexible Connections: To complement the natural red tones of the Knit Picks Red Padauk hardwood yarn swift, subdued brick red ties join the top and bottom of the spokes of the umbrella to create flexible connections, and to secure the swift in place, sturdy, brass-colored screw clamps add an elegant touch but remain practical, with a plastic cap on the end of each to protect wood surfaces when screwed tight.
To Use: Simply clamp the Knit Picks Red Padauk Yarn 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!
Size: The Knit Picks red Padauk Yarn Swift 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.
For best results: We recommend preparing your Knit Picks 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.
