about swifts…in the 18th and 19th centuries, swifts were sometimes made of whale ivory and they are now sought-after antiques. swifts are not used very much in the textile industry but are used more by knitters and crocheters who buy their yarn in hank form. the swift allows for easy balling without the yarn getting tangled and knotted.
