Nostepinnes - made in UK

Product

A lovely selection of hand-carved nostepinnes.  These are used for hand-winding yarn into balls.

I first came across Ballynagran during a trip to Northern Ireland and fell in love with their craft skills and ethos of using locally-harvested wood - often gained from wind-blown trees.

You may also be interested in the yarns bowls, yarn spinners and niddy noddies from Ballynagran Crafts.

Using the spinners

The nostepines are hand-turned and can be used straight away.  Each piece has been either oiled or waxed.

Rather than try to explain how you use them, here is a useful video that I found - link.

Nostepinne dimensions

Approximately 30cm long with a shaft of about 21cm for winding the yarn on to.

Product materials, sourcing and PoM Rating

This product was hand-turned in Northern Ireland, using woods local to the Ballynagran Estate.  These spinners can only be posted via My Hermes and as an insured item, hence the higher P&P cost.  If a partial refund can be given on P&P costs, it will be. 

Postage and Packaging

You can read all about P&P here.

The P&P costs applied are very transparent.  No additional costs are added on, you simply pay for the cost of packaging and the cost of postage.  I don't offer free P&P because what that usually means is that the cost of P&P has been added to the cost of goods.  I think it is better to assume that my customers aren't daft and would rather have transparent P&P costs than the pretence of 'Free P&P' with inflated prices on the items that they are buying.
