Schacht Niddy Noddy

Details

The Schacht Niddy Noddy is the H-shaped tool spinners use to wind freshly-spun yarn off the bobbin into a measured skein for washing, setting, or storage. The Schacht version is a slightly different take on the traditional shape, designed around three things spinners actually want: a way to change skein size, a way to put it down without tangling everything, and a way to get the finished skein off without a fight.

Hard maple with a hand-rubbed Danish oil finish, made in Boulder, Colorado.

Why this niddy noddy

• Adjustable skein size: 1-1/2 yards to 2 yards per wrap, so the tool fits the project rather than the other way around
• Folds flat for storage or travel between sessions
• S-shaped top lets the finished skein lift off without snagging
• Balanced and lightweight, so a long skein-winding session does not tire the wrists

An independent tool: no spinning wheel required, fits any spinner's setup.
