Hold the end of the yarn across the middle of the niddy noddy.
1 Ball of Yarn, 1 Niddy Noddy
Then wrap the yarn over one of the ends on the closest side.
Twist your hand so the “T” of the niddy noddy is upright and the yarn is coming towards you. Then wrap the yarn down and under the other end that is sticking out towards you.
Then wrap the yarn up and over the other side of the “T” on to opposite end.
With the niddy noddy upright, wrap the yarn down behind it and under the remaining end on the opposite side.
Then bring it back up to the start of the T. This will complete the first loop of the yarn.
Continue in this pattern until you’ve wrapped all of the yarn around.
Measuring the Length of Yarn
After you’ve wrapped the yarn around it, simply count the number of strands on one side.For a 1 yard niddy noddy, the length is simply the number of strands. For example, if you have 10 strands, you have 10 yards of yarn.For a 2 yard niddy noddy, you want to multiply the number of strands by 2. For example, if you have 10 strands, you have 20 yards of yarn.
Making a Twisted Hank of Yarn
Divide the strands on one side in half.
Use one of the yarn ends to wrap around one of the halves. Then wrap the end around the other half and tie it into a knot. Repeat this on the other side that has the other yarn end.
For the 2 remaining sides, use a scrap piece of yarn to divide and tie the sections
2-4 pieces Scrap Yarn
Slide the yarn off of the niddy noddy.
Grab each end and twist in opposite directions to create a twist in the yarn.
Fold it in half.
Let go of the folded side, while still holding onto the ends. The yarn will twist itself into a twisted skein!
Open up one of the ends and push the other end through it to secure.
