Need to wind a center-pull ball of yarn? The ChiaoGoo Nostepinne can do the job. The Nostepinne is an old Norwegian tool used to wind yarn into center pull balls without changing the twist of the yarn. Approximately 11″ (28 cm) long, this tool has a nice smooth finish, but not too smooth so the yarn doesn't slide off while winding. It's long enough to wind a large ball of worsted or even chunky yarn. Made of wood.
