Best Answer

It's a counter. From the limited research I have done, the click signifies when you have reached 300 yards of winding. This answer was applied to the "5-spoked" variety of winder, so a smaller one may be gauged differently.

What sort of antique textile item is a yarn swift?

A yarn swift is a piece of equipment that is used for winding a skein of yarn. You take the skein of yarn and pull it into a circular shape and place it over the swift. The swift is a little bit like an umbrella frame without the fabric. The swift rotates as you pull the yarn off to roll it into a ball. Often, a ball winder is used in connection with a swift. It's much easier to use a swift for rolling yarn into a ball, although many people, myself included put the skein on the back of a chair to wind.
