I love winding balls of yarn! and I find it so gratifying to do it on the nostepinne. I have a ball winder machine, but I rarely use it anymore.... the nostie is so contemplative and such a pleasure. I hope that you will enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine! Hi Perry

I'll have to try a nostepinne now that I see how it works. Thanks! There’s something so satisfying (and mesmerizing) about winding a ball of yarn.

Been there and done that... nostepinnes are our friends! LOL And, yes, I am planning on making lots more videos. I am having so much fun making videos.

I never heard of a nostepinne but always marveled at store-bought balls of twine that pull out from the center. A couple of days ago I needed to ball a skein of yarn. Since there was no one handy to hold the skein while I wound, I stretched it between my own feet and proceeded. All the while, as I bent and adjusted to pull the yarn from the skein, I was thinking "I'm way too old to be doing this - oh my aching back!" You are such a font of knowledge. Please keep the videos coming :-D Noreen, I wish I had found this link just a few days ago!
