What is this?
A yarn winder that David Junge, hubby of Franny, designed and constructed for Michelle Coburn. It has two independent umbrella swifts that can be used to feed individual skeins onto the winder reel. It can accurately measure and wind up to 200 yards a minute. It was designed using AutoCAD and constructed in David's shop and is powered by a fractional horsepower electric motor with speed control. Wow, I need a hubby like that!
