The nøstepinne is a traditional tool that's used to manually wind a center-pull ball of yarn. Learn to use a nøstepinne to create a variety of center-pull ball styles and see how they impact twist. Heavenly Bresser demonstrates three ways of winding using her handspun samples, then reports the effects on the twist of the resulting yarn.
