Niddy Noddy After you spin your own yarn, wind it around a niddy noddy to create a hank. A niddy noddy can also be used to measure your handspun yarn so you know if you have enough to knit or crochet a project. The large niddy noddy creates a hank of yarn that is 2 yards around, and the smaller niddy noddy creates a 42” hank and is a more portable size.

80701 Small Your Cost $9.99 80702 Large Your Cost $11.99

Drop Spindle An interchangeable Turkish spindle! This drop spindle can be a used as a high or low whorl spindle so it is perfect for new spinners who want to try out different spinning methods.
