Not for maaaaaany years but this style, quite comon around here, should be easy to make.



You can use wood or bamboo to make it and the pyramid shape keeps the yarn from sliding down.
The increase in diameter as you go down means that you can fit different sizes of yarn on it, with no need to have an expanding mechanism, like the x-style ones.
 You just place the body on the pivot (axle) and it spins round easily.

It looks less complicated than the x-style ones.

Thank you very much dks! That's a totally different idea than I've seen, usually I see only these acordian style ones that look very complicated. Thanks again :D
