I just take off the spices that are in my cupboard when I need to use it. I put the skein on and then I move the clothes pins to sit on top of the skein so it doesn't slip up when I am winding.

We went over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito to what was then a "Shopping Center" -- lots of small shops in an old building. My friend got all excited to show me something she couldn't identify in one of the stores and was sure I wouldn't know either. I was the one to get excited!! It was a SWIFT!! I had been looking for one. Don't remember what it cost, but I bought it on the spot! (In those days, it may have been $3!!) Over the years, it has disappeared and reappeared numerous times. <br />Sometimes it just isn't handy to use (clamp wrong size, etc) I am going to make one of these!!

I used an old rubbermaid square container instead of the box, which I used double-stick tape to attach to my old lazy susan and notched the corners to hold the hangers in place and then used a tennis ball in the center of the hangers to help weight down and steady the hangers more. Also, found that I only needed the 4 small plastic clothes clips above the yarn. It's funny looking but was so easy to put together and works great...thank you!
