This skein from Bhutan has a cross in the middle and in my last post I showed how two swifts were needed to unwind the yarn.
Here is the niddy noddy I brought back from a weaver in Bhutan.
This one is beautiful. It’s made of a branch of bamboo. I absolutely love it and hang it on my wall and almost swoon when I walk by. (I held up the group a bit while buying this exact one.)
I am trying to show you how long it is by putting it against the door to my apartment.
Here is the path the yarn will take to make the cross in the skein.
What a cool tool to have from your fiber adventure travels! Very nice!
Hi Peggy, this is probably a really silly question, but why do I want a cross in the skein? And what a great souvenir!
How very cool! And thanks for sharing this. 🙂
I like to weave with super-fine yarns and a cross in the skein could be useful! Especially for dyeing.
