  catching up
can you imagine that we've been spinning and selling yarn for more than a year, and I am just now getting one of these?


See, I'm not the official skeiner of our crafty duo. She moved, so I am forced into a lot more reskeining action. It was between this and a skeinwinder, which would attach to my wheel and let me wind beautiful skeins right off the bobbin, instead of winding around and around my niddy-noddy til my arms go numb. My arms will put up with numbness for a few months more but my legs will be happy that they won't have yarn wrapped around them in endless winding acrobatics.

All from a 40% off coupon from Jo-Ann's. Woo! Along with some frighteningly tiny (US1) dpns, in case sock-knitting madness hits again before I finish one of the two I have on needles now!
 
Comments:
ooh, i didn't know you could get the nice wood ones from joann's. i desperately need one. balling yarn is meditative to a point, but after that point (especially if it's teeny sock yarn), god i get bored. plus i'm a small child, relaly, and i love to spin the winder.
