Suzy's Handpainted Sample Wyrm Winder Niddy Noddy - Fiberygoodness - One of a Kind

This is the SAMPLE size of Wyrm Winder niddy noddy available measuring approximately .75 yards with each loop.

Specifications

The assembled Sample Niddy Noddy has a nose to nose measurement of 30cm (11.8″) and wing to wing of 24cm ((9.45″). The wingspan is 17.5cm (6.9″). Unassembled, each dragon has a nose-tip to tail-tip measurement of 24cm (9.45″). The two dragons together weigh just 70grams (2.8oz).

The Sample size is super useful for small skeins, and for on-the-go while you’re out and about. Because it is so light and packs flat you can pop it in your handbag or project bag to take on outings with your spinning. 

These are unique tools and each one is painted by hand so there will be variations between them. The colours are consistent and are created with quality acrylic paints and finished with three coats of clear.

Fiberygoodness original design for the Wyrm Winder Niddy Noddy! Suzy asked me to mention that I am a favored reseller in the USA for her dragons. (I'm so excited!) I will do my best to keep these beauties in stock, but they do like to fly off to new homes quite frequently! Below is the information she has available on her website in her words! Happy plying, everyone!

From Suzy:

As a firm believer that our fiber tools should be as fun and creative as the projects we work on with them, I have added this nifty dual Dragon shaped Niddy Noddy, named the ‘Wyrm Winder’ to my wee tool range for your yarn winding pleasure!

The niddy noddy is made of wood, which I cut on my laser to my original design. I then carefully sand each piece so it feels nice to hold with no sharp edges, then paint each one individually with quality acrylics. I finish it with a clear coat to protect the surface.

How to Use your Wyrm Winder

The two dragons slot easily together tail to tail, and help you wind a skein. The handiest part is you can tuck the starting end of your yarn into the tail, or wrap it around the neck, and your dragon will hold it for you, so if you have to stop and put your niddy noddy down before you have finished winding, the end will stay secure.

When it comes to measuring your skein, I find the most accurate way to do so is to wind the skein, remove from the niddy noddy and wash it to set the twist, then when dry lay the skein flat, measure its length, multiply by 2 (for both sides), and then multiply by the number of strands.
