Handy tool for Handspinner or the Fiber Artist. Winds handspun yarn into skeins for washing, dyeing or presentation. Hand dyers use to reskein commercial spun yarns after dyeing or skeining sizes as desired before dyeing (easiest off cone yarn if that is an option). Handspinners use this tool to easily wind off their bobbins into skeins of yarn, otherwise you need to use a niddy noddy. The skein diameter is 1.5 meters (5 feet).
