Description
This is a modern example of a very old fiber tool called a niddy noddy, which is a skein winder. Each complete wrap counts as about two yards of fiber. The yarn which remains on it, shows the twisting that occurs with each wrap. This tool, created between 1940 and 1980, belonged to Alice Willard and was donated to the Southern Highland Craft Guild. The creator of this item is unknown.
