When I took a class from Sarah Anderson in August, a very nice woman, Debra, sat next to me. She had the coolest set up on her wheel, thanks to her clever husband.
Come look. Can you guess what this is?
What is it?
A removable bobbin winder for her Lendrum!
On board bobbin winder
Here it is in action. It is so simple and brilliant!
So brilliant!
It was turned on a lathe from a dowel. I really want one, for all of my wheels. Have any of you brilliant spinners seen something like this for sale anywhere? Or maybe I can figure it out with PVC, hmmmm. Have I mentioned I love gadgets?

I would love a little interchangeable set like that! Be nice to have a more compact case than my current needle arrangement…
i have wanted to get a set of denise interchangeables for awhile now. thank you for the chance to win a set.
Would love a set. thanks
I’m always scrambling for needles. This would be so handy. Thanks for the chance1
What an awesome give away!
An adorable set!
These are absolutely lovely, so pretty and feminine. I really need a set of interchangeable needles. I never seem to have the right size with me when I’m planning to cast on a new project when I’m on the road. I know, better planning could probably alleviate that problem, but since we know that won’t happen, an interchangeable needle set seems like a much better option for me.
That’s such a neat kit!
I like Denise products.
I just discovered your blog tonight and I am enjoying it…love the opportunity to receive a set of interchangeable needles. I’ve been reading up on them and would love a set.
