Niddy Noddy, Ashford – 90cm Sampler
$38.00
Canadian orders only. Winds 90cm circumference (36 inch) skeins.
Serious students of spinning appreciate a smaller niddy noddy for skeining up sample “test runs”. This nice little one is just perfect for sampling, which of course we are all supposed to do before tackling the big spin. Made of sturdy turned silver beech hardwood. Unfinished, but easily given a coat of urethane or varnish if desired. This comes apart for more compact storage. Don’t let the handy person in the house glue both ends!! One cross-arm should always be free to rotate, for easy removal of your wound skein.

FREE SHIPPING within Canada! Canadian orders only. We have this item shipped directly from the Ashford Canada warehouse, generally within one or two business days. We also often have one assembled at our store for you to try.
A couple of years ago Ashford came out with their new and improved skein winder, and we love it. Some of the features:
- holds up to 1.5kg (around 3.75 Lbs) of yarn.
- holds or makes skeins from 1 to 2m in diameter (1.09 to 2.19 yards).
- clever tensioning system for making even skeins, easily bypassed if you wish.
- skeiner arm pegs are fully adjustable. You can use the notches provided or slide the arm adjusters in between the notches and tighten to whatever diameter you prefer. Preset notches are at 1, 1.5 and 2m.
- solid construction from silver beech hardwood, with a lacquered finish.
- amooth, effortless winding with quiet nylon bearings.
Assembly required, but it's pretty simple. Alan says to pay attention to the instructions: when they say the small washer or large washer, they mean it.
November 2018: Ashford also offered this in a natural/unfinished version but that has been discontinued.
Note: ships separately from other items on your order because of the awkward box size.
