Ashford Mini Niddy Noddy

The Ashford Mini Niddy Noddy is not only a clever design and really cute, but it's wonderfully useful and portable.  This Mini makes a 24 inch (60 cm) skein from those special yarns you spin - perfect for small skeins of silk, camel down and other precious fibers.

The pieces of the Ashford Mini Niddy Noddy come packaged with a twine tie.

The clever design allows you to slip the two halves apart so this Mini Niddy Noddy will fit into your spinning basket or bag for easy portability.

Nancy's Knit Knacks

  Nancy's Knit Knacks Niddy Noddy

Nancy's Niddy Noddy
NKK has developed a new Niddy Noddy that solves many of the problems that are present with other units on the market today...$49.99  #649103

The unit consists of the following parts:

  • 2 Crossbars (1 with an "easy off" feature

  • 1 Long Handle (to make 1 and 2 yd skeins)

  • 1 Short handle (to make 1.5 yd and 27" skeins)

  • 2 wooden balls with integrated bolts (ball knobs)

  • 1 custom designed zippered Denim sack with pocket 

  • Set of Spinning Project Kards

Optional 4 yard add-on handle...$14.99 (by special order)

Here is what they have to say about it:

  • "Ours is really strong and sturdy. The cross-arms on our unit will not break, wobble, loosen or otherwise fail to operate. When you assemble the unit (which only takes a few seconds), you will immediately know you are holding something solid."
  • "It has a special feature which is designed to hold your yarn so you will not have to hold it in your hand while you start to wrap your skein."
  • "It will measure all of the required lengths of yarn:
    • 1.0 Yard
    • 1.5 Yards
    • 2.0 Yards
    • 27 inch sample
    • 4.0 Yard - Optional Add-on"
  • "Unit comes packed in its own custom designed denim carry sack. This is a Nancy's Knit Knacks' exclusive feature."
  • "Made from American Birch Hardwoods and steel."
  • "We employed the skills of an engineer and craftsman to assist in the design of this unit. This has resulted in the industry's sturdiest design for a Niddy Noddy."
  • "The 4 yard add-on consists of a 1" diameter Birch Handle - identical in construction to the shorter handles. It can make a 2 yard skein (by looping your skein over only 2 of the cross-arms), or a 4 yard skein by looping the yarn over all 4 cross-arms in the conventional Niddy Noddy manner. The Add-on handle does not come with a case and will not fit into the standard Niddy Noddy Case. This should not be a problem, typically, because most users will leave this long handle at home."
  • "Note: the three handles have the following lengths: 11-1/4, 15-7/8, 34.0 inches (4 yd)"
