when the extra pair of hands aren't around...

and you need to make one of these

from a skein of yarn

well you get yourself one of these fine and dandy

doohickeys

(wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee)

'tis called

an

Amish style

swift

it holds the skein of yarn

you know

skein

the yarn that isn't rolled into a ball

for the non yarners among you

you can also make a skein on this

if you want to

I guess the spinners put the yarn they spin on this

then they use the yarn winder to make the cute little balls of yarn

 as I don't have the room for a regular swift

the one that looks like an umbrella(-ella-ella)!!!

I got this one that I found on Amazon.com

it was on sale too ...so there was no hesitation

 :)

(wwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee)

so the other day I put the

skein

on the

swift

 and

wound

up the yarn I needed

on the

yarn winder

and made me self some spiffy little

 balls o'yarn

now we're talking yarny

arrrrgh

will hopefully show you what I needed the spiffy balls for

 hopefully soon

'coz it's wool

and it's getting warmer by the day!!!

and it's taking so d yarn LONG
