Day 87: Winding away

I mentioned to Joey the other day that I’d need to start winding a few skeins into balls for the next batch of Project Spectrum projects, including two skeins of sock yarn, and that I’d need his help to hold the skeins while I hand wound the centre pull balls. With minutes we were on ebay and knitting sites looking for a ball winder and swift. Both arrived today.

This is my new swifft, bought from Get Knitted and I’ve got to say that it works like a charm coupled with my Royal wool winder bought off ebay.

Doesn’t it make a great looking ball?

This will be the next pair of socks on the needles and will fall into Project Spectrum Earth which starts April 1st. Yarn is the Rainforest colourway from Violet Green.
