Pictured above: a yarn spinner.
Internet searches for a yarn spinner will bring you back information about storytellers, a programming language, spinning wheels, and Etsy listings. But this particular yarn spinner (also known as a yarn swift) will take your yarn skeins and hanks and turn them into balls of yarn. And it will do it quickly, so that you’re not spending your time making yarn balls instead of knitting.
(This website has a useful explanation of why you might want to use one.)
Come to the next knitting social on Thursday May 25th to see it in action and maybe use it yourself.
