Nostepinne
are used to wind center-pull balls which allow access to both ends of the ball of yarn at the same time. Spinners use center- pull balls when plying two single ply yarns together. Knitters use a nostepinne to wind balls of yarn - you can knit from both ends of the ball at the same time.

TWO-TONE NOSTEPINNE

For something "Extra Special" in a Nostepinne, Edward has created the 2-tone Nostepinne, using two different contrasting woods for the handle and shaft.

MINI NOSTEPINNE & MINI SPINDLE

Enjoy using our "Mini Nostepinne".  It is similar in length to the "Mini Spindle" so both will fit easily in a small bag along with your favorite fibre.  They are easy to take along to spin anywhere and are available in a variety of woods.  You can even request a matching set such as the ones shown below.
