Last we left it, my single ply black wool merino yarn was drying on the niddy noddy. Oh that works!! It took less time to dry, and it came off the niddy noddy easily (the caps were too tight, but I could get one arm off the niddy noddy easily). The yarn is balanced (which means it doesn’t get twisty), and seems strong (although I really do need to work getting an even thickness, but that should come with practice).

It is a little bitty cake (just 53 grams), but since it was a proof of concept experiment, that is fine.
