Not being anxious to buy a niddy noddy right now I  checked on line for different ways to make one.  The cheapest one I came up with was pvc pipe, simply because my husband dug into his spare parts of plumbing do-dads and had enough to make one.  There are @ 87 yards of Falkland 3 ply top there.  Someday maybe a bonafide wooden niddy noddy will make its way to me.  :)  Until then this little fella will suffice.
