My wife's a big knitter. Among her many tools are an Ashford Umbrella Swift (on the right) and a Wool Winder. A skein (loose coil) of yarn is looped in the swift, and then twisted into a tight ball by the winder. Though my wife has to put together this contraption, my daughter can operate it.
Aren't swifts wonderful!?!

Cool, The Ashford was way too pricey for me,,,,, I lucked out with mine with a coupon code for Joanns.com.
Thanks for the vid! At least I know I'm not the only one!
