Nostepende or Nostepinne is tool used by fiber artists to wind yarn into a center pull ball, allowing the knitter to remove the working yarn from the center rather than the outside.  By winding your yarn onto the nostepende it allows you to control the tension in the yarn as well as visually inspect the yarn for possible defects or knots as you are winding.
