Tips & Tricks

•

The 40mm core will be used in most cases.

•

The 22mm core is great for laceweight or finer yarns as well as for

a skein of 50 grams or less.

•

Tension hooks are best used for finer or slick yarns.

•

Experiment with locations for setting up your Roly-Poly and Swift

of choice. We typically keep the Roly-Poly and Whirligig on the

same surface about 2-5 feet apart. Placing them further apart can

allow twist to be evenly dispursed throughout the yarn.

•

Ball width can go up to 8.5" wide and yarn can be as thick as what

can fit through and move freely through the orifice and guides.

•

Watching the Roly-Poly wind is mesmerizing, but your primary

focus needs to be on the swift to catch snags, especially if your

skein looks like it may have issues.

•

If you have a skein snag on your swift, turn off the switch on the

Roly-Poly and turn the speed dial to zero. Then take one wrap off

the core to create some slack in the yarn and clear the snag on the

swift. Before you start the Roly-Poly again, make sure the speed is

dialed down so you're not restarting at full speed. You can speed

up the flyer once the swift is moving freely again.

•

For an umbrella swift, make sure the umbrella is not tight against

the top of the post, creating friction. You want the swift to move

freely.

•

Special note for Schacht Ultra Swift users: we recommend using

the swift in its upright position, for maximum success. When

horizontal, the winding handle causes the swift to be unbalanced

(heavy on one side) and not turn evenly. This is fine when using

the handle to wind a skein onto the swift, but when using it as

a yarn source, it causes fluctuations between very slack and

moderate tension with every revolution.
