Thanks Sherry I hadn’t heard of the nostepinne. Will definitely check it out!

The toilet paper roll doesn’t appeal to me for hygienic reasons. I also prefer a smaller diameter than either empty roll and tapered on at least one end.

There is an old fashion tool, I think it is Scandavian, called a nostepinne that uses the same technique. It is made of wood and is usually hand turned and tapers at one end to slide the yarn off easily. I don’t have one but I think they are about 3/4″ in diameter. I use a toilet paper roll instead also. If that doesn’t appeal to you a paper towel roll will work just as well.

Very interesting…I never thought about it that way but even a “right handed” person might not get it right handed.
