swift / yarn swift
A yarn swift is a traditional textile tool used for holding skeins of yarn during winding, reeling or preparation for weaving and knitting. Typically made of wood or metal, the swift allows yarn to unwind smoothly without tangling. It has been widely used in domestic textile production and remains a common tool among handweavers, knitters and textile conservators.
