My husband ordered this for me as a Christmas present. I think he hoped his days of serving as a yarn holder would be over. Much to both of our disappointment, both wooden screws were missing from the package. This meant that the umbrella portion could not be secured at the proper height and the unit could not be clamped to a table. The only way to contact the seller is through Amazon, and I learned that no exchanges or replacement parts are available -- one must return the entire item and reorder. Well, in the week since our original order, the price went up! Not only do we have the inconvenience of having to return the original item back to Amazon, I have to pay extra for the item due to the seller's poor quality control!

This thing is huge! It opens up to about four feet, and I think most people could easily use the medium model.

The arms are joined at the ends with a hemp cord, so I don't expect those to last too long but they'd be really easy to replace.

This probably isn't the most durable swift available, but it's definitely a good price!

This is a great buy! I've been working with yarn for years, and finally splurged on a swift. This one is solid and easy to use. Would definately recommend to beginners and experienced knitters and spinners!

I love this yarn swift! It's very easy to set up, use and store. It's very sturdy and well made!

This is a great price performer! I bought it about 6 months ago and have used it over and over again, winding yarn for all of my knitting friends... I have had no problems and it has held up beautifully, and at a very reasonable price. I am planning on ordering a second one as a gift.
