I use it to wind yarn of unknown length into hanks of known length. The nails have heads, so I have to make sure that I wind loosely.

Before, it was the standby: the boyfriend-as-yarn-swift. (He didn't care for that cheat, as it made him look very "not butch" to stand there holding out yarn - and it somehow always happened that I wanted him to do that in public, with some really offensive unmanly yarn, like fuschia-and-lavender silk.)Alysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03670791696220623341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292173.post-1155056899134500792006-08-08T10:08:00.000-07:002006-08-08T10:08:00.000-07:00i need to get me a chair like that, it would proba...i need to get me a chair like that, it would probably be a lot cheaper than a swift.<BR/><BR/>i *love* the socks.Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15822650054072508484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292173.post-1155052725026764472006-08-08T08:58:00.000-07:002006-08-08T08:58:00.000-07:00Wait.

Do you mean to say that the way to wind yarn is not to hold the skein in one hand while winding with the other and watch it get more and more hopelessly tangled until you end up staying up until 4 am trying to sort it all out?
