Hand-turned wooden Nostepinne (yarn ball-winder), made from cherry, and finished with a light coat of beeswax. These are medieval tools for creating center-pull balls of yarn, typically in a flat "cake" form, but also as round balls.

The Nostepinnes are between 10.5 and 12 inches in length overall, and the "tip" of the tapered end is approximately 3/8" in diameter.

Due to the wood being a natural material, variations in grain pattern and color will occur. Occasionally, there will be defects in the wood (bark inclusions, small pockets, etc.); I strive to make sure that these will not affect the functioning of the Nostepinne. Because they are hand-turned, slight variations in dimension and form will occur.

The Nostepinnes have been sanded smooth, and finished with a light coat of beeswax rubbed into the wood.

If you desire something in particular (special notches, or no "bead" between the handle and the taper), or would like a different finish or size, don't hesitate to PM me.

I ship these USPS First Class Package, with tracking.

Great quality, surprisingly easy to use. I got it going on the first try and since it’s well made and has no fiddly bits like the crank winders I can use it forever knowing it will never break. I even wound a ball of yarn on the train!

This is the second one I purchased. I gave the first one to my daughter. We both enjoy using it due to its tapered design. It performs well, and the quality is excellent.
