You won't believe this, but I still make my husband hold the skeins between his hands while I wind up my yarn into balls, not really cakes, because I don't know how to do that.

But then I also just learned about a nostepinne and have been thinking of getting one. The fact that your dad hand-carved one for you makes my heart swell.

I love the look of yarn wound that way, it always has that distinctive shape. I've never tried winding with a nostepinne, but I do sometimes wind yarn by hand into a haphazard ball.

I'm not a musician so this is just the thing to have him make for me. I can't wait to tell him about it. <br /><br />I'm a new knitter so I didn't know any better than to hand wind my yarn. I love to do it.
