Samire is leaning towards the Japanese Steampunk, but Felicity has Opinions about what is a suitaable book to read

davidd - there a few different types of swift, this particular one is called an "umbrella swift", as it looks a bit like an umbrella if you didn't have the fabric over the ribs when it's opened up like this.
It's reduced the time it took me (us) to wind a skein from maybe an hour, to about 5 minutes. You can't see in the photo here, but there's a hand-crank ball winder on the other end of the table. So what I do is put the skein of yarn (what Becky is holding), around the ribs of the swift, and then put one of the ends into the ball-winder. The swift rotates as I crank the ball-winder, and it makes a "cake" of yarn.
