Labeling Handspun Yarn with Ye Olde Niddy Noddy

I'm sharing how I take my handspun yarn off the bobbin and get it into a skein. I'll show you how I do each step including using a niddy noddy, calculating yardage, determining wraps per inch, tie and twist the skein, and what information I include on the yarn tag. I have included lots of bonus tips for each step. Plus, I included a little fun niddy noddy history. You won't believe how old this tool is!
