ChiaoGoo Nostepinne Wood 1097: Exquisite Handcrafted Yarn Winding Tool Review

This is my second order. The first arrived damaged and Revane sent me another right away. Nostepinne is easy to use and makes good center draw yarn balls. I used a small diameter French rolling pin and while it worked, it was unwieldy due to the length of the pin. Nostepinne is shorter so that the yarn can be wound up more easily. would recommend.

Once you get used to this Nostepinne it's pretty simple and easy to use. The first few balls of yarn I rolled came out fine, but it was still a little awkward. It gets easier with every application. There is a guide on how to use it, but it's still difficult to understand how to wind the yarn exactly. Good online videos help with that. I'm glad I bought it.

I already have a speed and ball winder, so nostepinne is especially handy for winding up small amounts of yarn left over from projects. You can of course use it to do a center pull ball or not. There are several videos on YouTube showing how to do this. The smoothness and weight of this Nostepinne is just perfect. For my use I could have chosen a shorter one, but this size still works well. I will probably never buy one again as this will no doubt last for many generations.
