Swift Mode
To use Whirligig as a swift, simply remove the rubber motor drive belt.
Loosen an arm post knob and slide it down the arm. Place your skein
onto the arm posts, and put the first one back in place to properly
hold the skein. If your skein isn’t the full 2 yards, adjust all the arm
posts equally to maintain perfect balance (especially important at high
speeds).
When using Whirligig as a swift at very slow speeds, resistance is
so low that you may need to add some artificial drag (tension). For
instance, when using it with our Roly-Poly ball winder at very low
speeds, unwanted slack could caue tangling. The solution is to use the
supplied nylon rat tail (or your similar belt material) over Whirligig’s
large whorl. Please do not use Monofilament.
The two horizontal hooks (on left and right legs) are here for this
purpose. Tie a loop on one end of the rat tail and affix the loop to the
“taut” side hook. Drape it over the whorl and loosely loop it around
the “slack” side hook. (Taut and slack sides depend on which way the
swift is spinning.)
