Metal Umbrella Swift/Skein Holder

I listed a Metal Umbrella Swift/Skein Holder for bid on Ebay. It'll make a great Christmas gift. An absolute must-have companion to your ball winder, this adjustable umbrella swift holds your yarn perfectly in place while you wind it into a usable, center-pull ball!! Great accessory for knitters, weavers, spinners, and fiber artists.
  • Excellent used condition
  • Mounts easily to almost any table or extended flat surface, in vertical or horizontal positions
  • Fully adjustable to size of skein
  • Durable metal, high quality construction with vinyl cover protectors
  • Collapses easily to fit into sturdy vinyl case (small stain on case label)
  • Made in Japan
For more detailed description, please pop over to Ebay and take a look.
Thank you.

November Fiber Club - Oops

Oops... Looks like I messed up my fiber subscription for November. I changed it from single to double but somehow pay for them all for November. Now I have 12 ounces of the fiber in the same colorway. Looks like I'll have extra to spin and add to the Etsy store.

Pie for Everyone

I received my November fiber from Spunky Eclectic on Monday and I have spun up half of my fiber . I'm starting the second half tomorrow. It's really yummy. The fiber is Falkland. I'll post a picture of my yarn when I'm done but for now, you can take a look at the yarn all spun up at the Spunky Club.
