Niddy Noddys

I can’t resist beautiful tools. I went to my LYS to get my spinning wheel bobbins sent in for re-drilling (they don’t spin on the flyer as they should. It’s a known problem), and decided to find a small niddy noddy to use for making samples. I came home with these two:
The one on the right is tiny, perfect for making little sample skeins. The other one is the smoothest finish ever, and so beautiful. If you take the ends off of it, it can perform as a Nostepinde - a fancy word for ball-winding-by-hand. See directions here.

Just laughing quietly to myself here - I’d forgotten how much nostepinde look like, well, you’ll get it. Definitely not something to wind yarn on!!! LOL!
