I enjoy a good deal. I use to hoard up the Walmart $1 a yard material, then the stopped carrying it. That was OK, I found the Goodwill had clothes for sale on Sun/Mon for 50 cents. A much better deal, right? How about getting 1,000 plus yards of wool yarn for $1. I found a pullover vest that was very pretty, but not a style/size I could wear. All it took was a little unraveling on my part. I must warn you though, the nitty noddy is not as easy as you would think.

In this pic, it appears I am winding properly; but when it was time to take it all off I had a problem. Maybe I started out right and got twisted up somewhere. I spent 2 hours last night with the yarn wrapped around 2 chairs as I reapplied it to the nitty noddy. I am happy to say, it is soaking in the sink dekinking. :^) Here is a link for Tim Horcher, general manager of New Voyager Trading, talks about the niddy noddy and demonstrates how it is used to make a skein of yarn.

The yarn has 5 strands: 2 green, 2 purple & 1 navy. I haven't burn tested it yet, but I believe it is a wool blend. Super soft. I think it wants to be a shawlette next.
