Know your nostepinne

I've been winding my skeins recently using a medicine bottle, a tip I learnt on the MS3 group. It works really well, but maybe isn't best suited to thousands of yards of laceweight...






So I ordered a nostepinne. It's a lovely handturned yew article, but comes with no instructions at all. I just decided to have a go anyway, and here's the first result.

The ball ended up a bit messy, so I googled and found these helpful instructions at the Woolery.
