Hand-turned wooden Nostepinne (yarn ball-winder), made from western maple, & finished with a light coat of beeswax. These are medieval tools for creating center-pull balls of yarn, typically in a flat “cake” form, but also as round balls. The Nostepinnes are between 10.5 & 12 inches in length overall, & the “tip” of the tapered end is approximately 3/8" in diameter. Western maple will often have great figuring. Due to the wood being a natural material, variations will occur, ranging from nearly no figuring, to very highly figured wood. There will also be variations in grain & color. Occasionally, there will be defects in the wood (bark inclusions, small pockets, etc.); I strive to make sure that these will not affect the functioning of the Nostepinne. Because they are hand-turned, slight variations in dimension & form will occur. The Nostepinnes have been sanded smooth, & finished with a light coat of beeswax rubbed into the wood. If you desire something in particular (special notches, or no “bead” between the handle & the taper), or would like a different finish or size, don’t hesitate to PM me. This listing is for a single nostepinne. I ship these USPS First Class Package, with tracking. Nostepinne, Hand-Turned Wooden Yarn Ball Winder, Figured Maple Wood
