Umbrella rack, Green Gables Heritage Place

Wooden swift that sits on top of a table. It has multiple ribs that resemble the inside of an umbrella that are adjustable.

This umbrella swift design has been around since the 1600s and is used to hold a skein of yarn or wool to wind it into a ball for knitting and crocheting. It was named because of its appearance resembling the ribs of an umbrella. No need to have someone with outstretched hands when you have this tool!
