Good morning Knitterati! Has anyone ever tried winding yarn with a "nostepinne?" Looks like a must-have tool, especially for non-stretch yarns like the one in the demo here. Cheap and effective!

I've used a cheap wood 1 inch crochet hook. Works ok enough, but slow and the balls were not as clean as with a ball winder.

@Karen Strickholm I've used a thick (~2 cm diameter, maybe?) and short (20 cm long) stick as if it was a nostepinne, and as long as the amount of yarn isn't too much (too much = a few kg of very thin yarn) it works very well

That is fascinating. Thank you for sharing. I've not used one but I love how the yarn in that center-pull ball looked. I like to work with linen but it does create weird center-pull yarn cakes when I use my ball winder.

I'm using the technique, but I use an empty toilet paper roll instead of the stick. I tried the stick but it works less well for me as the hand holding it can get much more hands on in forming the ball with the paper roll.

I have two that my husband turned for me on his medieval treadle lathe. I use them in the context of Viking reenactment-type activities, but I don't use them at home because I've never gotten really efficient with them.

This probably relates to the fact that when I use them for Viking stuff I'm usually working with the equivalent of laceweight yarns at the largest. I bet they're a lot easier to use, and make a nicer bobble, when you have DK, sport, or worsted yarn to wind.

I didn't know there is a tool for it. I have used either an empty paper roll from toilet or kitchen paper or a big sized crochet hook(EU-size 12, I think)
