SLOTTING YOUR VINTAGE YARN CARRIER

At the 2018 Spokane CSM event Steve Ashton slotted my antique yarn carrier by cutting a vertical access on the main component. In order for this part to still function correctly the yarn fed through this now open area, needs to be held down. In these versions shown here from initial to last update useing KwikWeld, using a variety of simple materials and measures one can make your own vintage yarn carrier into a slotted one! Works great!

The 2.0 version: I’ve upgraded the yarn feed part on my vintage yarn carrier by drilling a hole in the carrier and installing a bent in a curled pigtail small Brass Mug Hook using KwikWeld. I then painted the hook.
