Description

Comes with directions for use, in case you have not used one yet. Great gift for knitters.

A nostepinne is a Scandinavian knitting tool used to wind your own center pull yarn ball the old fashioned, low-tech way.
Photos at right show beginning of winding process, and a finished yarn ball.

Unlike one of those hand-cranked, mechanical ballwinders, a nostepinne is practically unbreakable, completely portable, does not require clamping to a table, needs no batteries and will not frizz merino yarns.

Lathe turned from natural wood , each one is different and unique - no duplicators or templates are used.
Sanded at 8 levels to 1500 grit, for a shiny, satin smooth finish, including the grooves - no snags. All natural exotic wood - no stain used.

This is a medium sized, lightweight one made of Cherry wood.

It is 10 inches long, with 5 1/2 inches of usable sloped shaft for winding, between top and bottom grooves, and is one inch in diameter at the widest point.
