One of my special custom colors, "Citrus Grove" Dyed Hardwood is a fruity combination of lemons, limes, oranges, and trees of the groves, tangy and sweet, refreshing to the senses.
I hand-turned this nosty from dyed and laminated hardwood that's been impregnated with resin and densified, thus made extremely strong and durable, and also resistant to temperature variations and moisture. Smooth as glass!
Total length is eight inches. Heirloom quality.
Smooth as glass, your fingers will wind fast as the wind, making a handy center-pull ball which is perfect for knitting / crocheting, or plying yarn. This simple, yet immensely effective tool traces its origins back to Scandinavia; noste - ball of yarn, pinde - little stick, literally translated means "a little stick for winding balls of yarn." I find the nostepinde indispensable when I do my drop-spindling as they are portable and provide a gentle way to ball yarn without over-stretching. Instructions included.

** About Daystar Custom Colors: Not the standard composites, I have specially ordered these color combinations directly from the manufacturer of Dymondwood (TM). The color choices are derived from my own desire to create beautiful colorways in the same way I would with my fiber arts projects. I've never seen the combinations online or anywhere else for that matter -- they've all come from my own heart and mind, and I hope you enjoy them!
All of my items are tested for durability and strength. They're not simply ornamental -- they are fully functional tools and ornaments created with the finest materials and techniques in order for you to have a tool that is both beautiful and works comfortably and efficiently at the same time... just as it should.
I've been a fiber artist for over twenty-five years, and now use my experience to design one-of-a-kind items: from the tools of the trade (crochet hooks, knitting needles, spinning tools, etc.) to items of personal adornment such as hairpins, jewelry, and much more!
There is a wonderful joy to owning and using finely crafted wooden tools: they're smooth, warm, and have the potential to become cherished heirlooms. Every Daystar design is gently enveloped in an exclusively designed fabric pouch, and comes with a gift card. My work is 100% guaranteed. Please see my web site for a Care & Use Guide as well as other information. (The link to my site is on my About Me Page).
