Super easy to make and easy to cake the yarn because the swift is on plane with the winder, consistant perfect little cakes :) See the Churchmouse Group thread on Caking Yarn in Ravelry for a couple of pictures, one my husband made and another thats a bit classier but both work great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15615926.post-17029109913888923082012-07-11T19:12:47.927-05:002012-07-11T19:12:47.927-05:00Thank you!
