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.
These two dragons slot easily together tail to tail, and help you wind a super handy skein measuring approximately 1 meter (3″ longer than a yard) depending of course on how tight you wind it! 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.
It is super useful for sample skeins, on-the-go skeins while you’re out and about. Because it is so light and packs flat you can pop in your handbag or project bag to take on outings with your spinning.
Plying Dragons!
I also have made-to-order Plying Dragons in the shop, my original design – these are a fun take on the plying tools you may have seen for making ‘plying bracelets’, where you wrap a singles yarn around it in a specific way, release the pin and then ply the single on itself from both ends. With my Dragon you can fly through this task! And ply directly from the tail of the dragon so even if you get interrupted while plying, you can put it down and your single will be safe from tangles.

You can also add the Baby Dragon carding board to your set for the perfect prep-to-skein portable fiber art set – keep an eye on the Baby Dragon page to see when the next shop drop will be! These are very labour intensive to make, so I am adding these only as shop drops to the website rather than made to order, so please be sure to subscribe to the blog and I will post here when they are next due to drop!
