Så i går var plantefarvergruppen atter samlet, og den der lagde hus til, havde en vindepind. Det var jo genialt.
Uglemor havde allerede en pind, der ville være enget til formålet, det var et strandet projekt, der skulle være blevet til et skaft. Det stykke gren var perfekt til en vindepind. Uglemor snittede og sleb, og til sidst fik pinden noget af Krydderuglens gode creme - Krydderuglen er Uglemors sæbe-, salve- osv.-fremstillende alias. Da salven er fremstillet af bivoks og olivenolie, var den helt perfekt.
Nu kan Uglemor også vinde garnkager uden at mose fingrene.

MotherOwl has been looking at other peoples' nice centre pull yarn cakes whenever our plant dyers' group met. But MotherOwl did not want to buy a ball winder, even though they're not that expensive. MotherOwl used her fingers, making imperfect yarn cakes and squashed fingers.
Yesterday the plant dyers' group met again. The host had an ingenious thin. A yarn ball winding stick, a nostepinne.
MotherOwl went home and looked through her collection of branches and found the ideal branch. It was an aborted try for a shaft for a garden shovel. MotherOwl carved and sanded. In the end the stick was saturated with MotherOwl's un-petroleum jelly. It's also suited well for wooden objects, made from bees wax and herb infused olive oil.
Now MotherOwl can wind perfect yarn cakes without squashing her fingers.
To plantefarvede garnbundter vundet på den nye vindepind.

Two plant dyed hanks of yarn wound with the new nostepinne.Bare for at bevise for mig selv at pinden var lang nok. Et helt, købt nøgle garn vundet til en kage.
Pinden var nok blevet mere lige, hvis jeg havde haft en drejebænk. Så har jeg da et projekt mere til jeg får taget mig sammen til det kursus i trædrejning.

Just to prove to myself that the nostepinne was long enough, I wound a new ball of yarn into a cake.The stick would have been better, and more straight, if I had had a wood turning devise. A new thing to learn.
