Sewing, Quilting & Needlework

The types and sections of wood are selected for their durable characteristics, resistance to termites, and high density - which permits a highly polished finishing without varnish or stain. Not a single endangered tree was destroyed for their manufacture. The standard Mechelen (also known as "Mechlin") bobbins are approx. 4 1/4 inches long and the Delicate Fine Mechelen bobbins are approx. 3 3/8 inches long.

The MAJACRAFT lazy kate holds three bobbins, has an easy-to-use tensioning system, has two swing-out legs to position it at a nice angle, and has three yarn guides to further assist in perfect plying. Bobbins are not included.

From Ashford, one of the slickest, cutest mini niddy noddies around. Made from a high quality plywood with a lacquer finish. Pulls apart for flat storage in two pieces. Makes a 24 inch diameter skein.

A new, English-Australian bobbin. Made from Guatambu wood. Approximately 4 3/8 inches long. Drilled for spangles.

These hand-crafted 'Little Man' Niddy-Noddy's are delight to own. The 1 yard & 2 yard versions have a shaped handle made from laminated hardwoods and have a hand rubbed finish - they are very comfortable to hold. The cross-dowels are tapered so they only go in half way creating a niddy-noddy that disassembles for easy storage and transportation.

Choose from a 2 yard, a 1 yard, or for sampling and contests, a "mini" niddy-noddy.

Pictured are two of each size, one assembled, one unassembled. Your order will be for Niddy-Noddy in your choice of a 2 yard, a 1 yard, or a "Mini" version.

The terms "1 yard" and "2 yard" relates to the circumference of the finished skein. The "Mini" Niddy-Noddy produces a skein that is approximately 1/3 yard in circumference.

To remove the wound skein from the Niddy-Noddy after you have put on some securing ties, squeeze the yarns to the center and remove a cross dowel - do not pull the skein out and over the end of the dowel as you will likely break the dowel

These handy tools are a unique device which can be used for dehairing and fine fiber combing. After combing, fiber can be pulled into a sliver or spun straight from the combs.

Choose from single row or double row mini combs. Double row combs remove more slubs, vegetable matter and trashy stuff than single row combs do. That means there is also more fiber loss but the finished combed top is exquisite.

Both single row (18 tooth) and double row (35 tooth) combs are shown. You will receive one pair of the style of your choice (not 3 combs).
