It is \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ean accessory used for winding yarn from a spinning wheel bobbin to make a skein. It comes in a range of sizes, from small to large. For example, Ashford offers a jumbo-size Niddy Noddy that's great for making huge skeins of bulky art yarn. There are also small-sized options that can make smaller yarn skeins. The most common size produces a 1.8-meter skein.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e⁣\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA Niddy Noddy has a middle bar and crossbars on each end.
