Mini Niddy Noddy

Another handy little tool made by my resident handyman. This time a small niddy noddy for winding the shorter skeins that come off the charkha.

It's not as pretty as the spindle Lazy Kate he recently made, but it is very functional and was whipped up in a hurry using this tutorial when I grew disenchanted with the skein winder included in the book charkha. The PVC Lazy Kate makes little mini skeins only 1 yard in diameter. 

These skeins, and 3 more full cops waiting to be plyed, are the result of my first week of spinning cotton on the charkha. The one closest to the bottom of the photo was the first, a 3ply. The remainder are 2 ply skeins.
