Joann's does sell one, and that is where I got mine. They run those sales all the time... 40% or 50% or free shipping. Just check out there site; there will be some sort of sale going on.

Thank you :)

I think I need the other part more so the huge wooden thingy :lol:

I don't remember the name at ALL! But after you dye up your yarn you place it on it then wind it up LOL.

Oh what a great idea! I'm sick of having tangled up wool yarn after I dye it up so I thought maybe that would help :chin

And I just found the last one at fabriconnection. A lot more affordable than my LYS too! They wanted $85 for a smaller one. So glad I found one for $57 + 5.95 shipping. Still saving cuz I don't have to pay tax and am getting a bigger one :lol:

I've been eyeing it... I'm not sure if she's got a discount coupon on right now but it's on sale...

Hey girls...why not try putting a want ad in that paper? I can bet that SOMEONE in a reasonable driving distance has a big beautiful swift int he garage or something that they are itching to get rid of since they don't give a lick about yarn like their late Aunt Sue did. Or what about freecycle? I know not all of us can afford new, so it is good to know there are other options. :)

Just a thought. I am going to give it a whirl!
