If you ever want to un-cake your yarn, you can also re-wind it into a haink using the swift. I keep the stuff caked that I'll use soon but find myself pretty regularly re-hainking stuff when I change my mind. Just in case you didn't know! Your space looks awesome and makes me want to turn my (never used) small gym space into a craft room 😬
Thank you! I just got a set, caked up a sweater from the thrift store, and realized I better hank it to wash it to relax the fibers before I cake it up! Cashmere!
Looove my swift and ball winder. Almost all the yarn I buy now is in hanks. Just as a tip for anyone wanting to hold 2 strands of the same yarn doubled, you can pull a strand from the center and from the outside of the same cake, and then you have less to transport or monitor when you're knitting. I only learnt this a month or two ago, and it's been a game changer.
Love your wooden ball winder and swift, looks much sturdier than mine which is made of plastic and metal. When I first got my ball winder and swift I turned all my yarns into a cake in one day and at the end of the day I don't have any more yarn to wind. The very next day I turned my target to old sweater, that's never being use because it's too hot here but I bought it anyway and my kids old old sweaters too. I unravel them into many cakes. That's how fun it is😂.
So glad you love the winder and swift! I knit with a lot of hand dyed yarn so without it I think I’d be a very grumpy person 😂 love your videos so much!
I couch with a lot of yarn, the winder and swift are the best tools . Pulling from the centre evens out the drag and makes couching so much more even and faster. Wound balls has made my crochet work faster too, no chasing yarn across the floor. Love it.
Looking SO CUTE in those high waisted pants 🥰 from one ging to another. You understand the concept of what goes with orange as we always have a color and a lot redheads forget to match to it hahaha. ❤️❤️ great vid as always
I've seen some knitters on YT use that winder but it's so cool to see how you start using it for beginners like me! I guess when I start buying twist, hand-made yarns like that, I will buy my own swift and winder one day... that looks really COOL! P.S. but as a beginner who just completed one bottom-up and started my first top-down, I am not ready to unravel my projects yet... but I hear it's destiny (or a hobby) for knitters ;)
I’m so glad you got one!! I can’t even imagine doing it by hand 😭 but I admit I did t invest in a set as nice as yours and I’m slightly jealous! Lol love that you keep your small tools and bits in a tin! I keep mine in an old oxy clean container. Maybe it’s time to find some paint or something to make mine a little cuter 😅I also just got vogue knitting book and I’m so in love with it. I also got it to learn bee cast on and cast off methods and it only took me 5 min to learn a cast on I’d been trying to learn from TH-cam vids for years. A super solid purchase. Let me know how you like 52 weeks of socks. I saw that too but I have a couple sock patterns already and wasn’t sure a big book like that was a god investment or just using up space. Great video! Can’t wait till next sundays!
Love saving chocolate boxes and cookie tins for random storage 😁 if you like a lot of cables or lace on socks you will love this book! I am not crazy about all the patterns, but I have a few I want to make so the purchase was worth it.
I love this kind of videos! I have a question for you: As a beginner I wonder if the Vogue knitting book would be good for me to learn how to knit or is it more for more experienced knitters? Got really excited when you showed the book but since it is rather expensive I wanted to research first! Keep doing what you do, you're great! 😊
Loved the video! I just got my yarn winder and swift! This makes me knit more than I do before! I was just wondering, the socks that you showed with the other ufos, is there a specific pattern that you followed? I love how the toe is shaped and also the heel shape. If possible, may I have the information on the pattern, please? Thanks and I still enjoy your videos!
Thank you for letting us tag along while you organize yarn stash and try out your fun new toy! I'm very interested in buying a winder and swift myself. Are you still loving yours? Where did you purchase it? Thanks again!
Idk how I went this long without a winder and swift! I think winding cakes is my new favorite hobby 🤠
Ya because you can wind really fast
Meh to
You can also stack cakes
Can you share link to your winder and swift please
Such a relaxing video to watch. Love your yarn stash. You have so much yarn. Im totally jealous! Thanks for a great video

@@WellLovedKnits yeah! The little spinny handle thing at the top of the swift can be used to wind them back up. Very handy!

Looks like a relaxing thing to do!
That's what I thought but my right hand hurts from winding it

I had to hold myself back so I wouldn’t do the same
I just got a ball winder and swift recently and love them! So convenient!
That's it. You convinced me. I need a ball winder & swift expeditiously!
So glad you love the winder and swift! I knit with a lot of hand dyed yarn so without it I think I’d be a very grumpy person 😂 love your videos so much!
Thank you so much for being here 🙏🏼💘 I want to start exploring hand dyed yarn!! Would love recommendations if you have any :)
Lovely videos! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
This was so relaxing to watch! I've been in awful pain all night but this was so soothing!

Yessss I was always chasing yarn around my house (or my cat). Really excited to stop doing that haha
this has convinced me to finally purchase a winder and a swift!!!
I need to organized my yarns too, it's so fun. I enjoy this. Thank you so much beauty. 🧶🧡🧶🌿
Hi. Fun vid. Could you possibly share the info on the swift and ball winder?
Looking SO CUTE in those high waisted pants 🥰 from one ging to another. You understand the concept of what goes with orange as we always have a color and a lot redheads forget to match to it hahaha. ❤️❤️ great vid as always
Omg thank you!!! 💘 you are so kind
Where did you purchase this lovely winder and swift? Thanks!
Definitely need the 52 weeks of socks and the Vogue one!!!

I can say that a winder is great for yarn that is already wound into those oval balls, it is still much easier to knit from and helps your tension!
I love the glass cabinet. My cats…not so much. Lol 😆
Hi Bethany, where did you get that winder and swift from? Many people asked in the comments and would be super helpful to know. Thanks!
First! Yay! Love your vids!

@@WellLovedKnits I actually do really like lace knitting so that’s actually really good to know. I’ll def have to check it out. Thanks for the tip!

just love your video's, please could you give a link to where you got the wool winder and swift from. just must get one. thankyou.
Where did you get your ball winder from?
I need (okay, ~want~) one of these but I just can't bite the bullet!
Help!
I want a swift so bad lol, but I recently got a ball winder and it is life changing for sure.
I just got a Starwood Amish style swift. I like that it breaks down into a small box, and does not need to be clamped on the table.
What brand of winder is this?
Very very enticing a must have. Beautiful Afters ❤ where did you purchase Amazon
Thank you for letting us tag along while you organize yarn stash and try out your fun new toy! I'm very interested in buying a winder and swift myself. Are you still loving yours? Where did you purchase it? Thanks again!
Yes! I do really love - it is from Knit Pro!
Can you please provide a link for the winder and yarn holder? Im deaf and I didn’t understand. Ty
RIP the oranges, I loved the colour way with the blue sweater
I liked it too! I think I stopped working on it for too long and honestly lost the motivation to continue
What kind of yarn is this at 6:50 ? looks so soft T_T
I want to say it is hobbii diablo
