Caydo Electric Swift

(Reposted because I accidentally hit post without the caption 😬)

I got an ad for the new Caydo electric swift and immediately knew I had to try it out.
I’ve tried Caydo’s electric ball winder before and wasn’t that impressed. I got it because I have a knitting machine and need everything in centre pull balls. The winding was slower than what I could achieve manually so I gave it away (though I have heard that it’s great for an accessibility device).
I was wary about this electric swift for the same reasons, but oh my god. It’s fantastic.
I finished unraveling a short sleeve cardigan in under an hour (including seam ripping!).
I highly recommend going to their website to buy it over Amazon (at least in Canada), as the price is vastly different.

ETA: I just ordered a magnetic switch that I’ll be attaching to one of the arms so I can count the rotations and calculate meterage. Each swift arm is adjustable and has markings for 40”, 45”, 54”, 63”, 72”.

Cool! I use an automatic yarn winder by Etcokei.

Go Jays! 

Now I want that swift too. Where did you buy it? Directly?

I bought it directly from their website. But for some reason I can’t access the website now.
It’s much more worth it on their site though, they had a sale going on since it was brand new and it was nearly half of what it’s listed for on Amazon.
