Wednesday Word: Nostepinne

[calzephyr77.livejournal.com]

I'm a fibre major, so artsy craft words are my favourite!

Nostepinne - noun.

A nostepinne, sometimes nostepinde or nøstepinde, is a long handled rod about 10 or 12" used for winding balls of yarn by hand.

I have never encountered this word before, thank you!

You're welcome! I'm glad I could embiggen your vocabulary :-)

I appreciate it!

Oooh, great word!

It would be a fun Scrabble word--for those times when you have too many vowels and N's. All you need is someone to play STEP :-)

LOL! Every thing has a name--it's just a matter of discovering it :-D
