Check out this blog from a customer who recently bought a yarn swift.

The Oregon Wood Worker® was created in 2002 to help meet the needs of knitters, spinners, yarn dyers, hand weavers and yarn enthusiasts. We are the original designers and handcrafters of the table top yarn swifts. Our swifts will operate on any flat or vertical surface. From one idea, we developed the full family of Handcrafted Yarn Swifts™: our smaller, the Mama Bear BASIC(tm); the regular sized and most often purchased, Mama Bear™ PLUS, Swift n Count with very accurate electronic counter to measure your yarn while swifting; the larger Papa Bear™; and the very large Custom Jumbo Papa Bear (24' circumference skeins) models. Each model is designed to meet the specific needs of our customers. We believe in continuous product improvement. In 2010 we introduced the Swift N Count(tm) feature for each of our swifts, which measures yarn yardage to within one yard accuracy guaranteed. In 2016 we introduced our designed Jumbo Ball Winder which carries our name label and stronger gearing than any other Jumbo Ball Winder of its design. In 2019 we introduced our own beautiful FLOOR Model Yarn swift which operates vertically on a free-standing stand. The Mama Bear™ PLUS and Swift n Count are the most frequently purchased, as they will handle any yarn skein purchased from a yarn shop. Our swifts are very easy to assemble and disassemble, taking only 4-5 seconds for the non-mechanical person. There are only four pieces plus 5 pegs and a bag in the entire swift. All parts just slide together. No tools or bolts, etc., to deal with. Our swifts replace the umbrella swift, warping board and niddy noddy. All of our swifts are made of beautiful selected solid hardwoods, sanded smooth multiple times and finished with several coats of a clear hard wood finish. We believe our swifts are the smoothest turning swifts due to the Unique Turning System™ each one is made with. Each of our Handcrafted Yarn Swifts™ comes with its own nice cotton/poly bag. We also offer beautiful Decorator Bags in different colors, as an upgrade for your swift bag, at a small additional charge. All of the swift bags are also made by our own experienced sewing staff. If your pegs wear out or you need longer ones, just e-mail us and we will send you some more without charge.

All our swifts carry a lifetime guarantee for continued customer service and also free replacement pegs.

The Oregon Woodworker specializes in Hand Crafted Yarn Swifts(tm). We also sell wonderful Yarn Ball winders and Huggy Bear™ Yarn Ball/Cone Holders in three different sizes. Come and check out our products at our website: www.yarnswifts.com. Come choose the type of wood for your yarn swift: Regular Hardwood (oak/hickory), Walnut, Cherry, purple heart, zebra wood and padauk.

We are located in the beautiful Rogue Valley of Southern Oregon. Our shop and business are located in Medford, Oregon in the middle of some of the nicest stands of timber. All our wooden products are handcrafted by us in our shop in Medford, Oregon. You will really enjoy using your new swift, ball/cone holder and/or ball winder.
