I spin on a little spinning bobbin, and then I suck the spun yarn off (technical term meaning wind off : ) with a bobbin winder that is a bobbin stuck on a tapered dowel that is chucked into a cordless electric drill. It is fast and it works.
At Stitches, somebody wanted a bobbin winder to wind off (Suck yarn off of) her little wheel. I told her my solution and she said, "But I do not have a tapered dowel !" So I went home and turned her a nice tapered dowel.
However, This morning at the Chinese market a chopstick would work. And they do!

Here I show use of wooden takeout chopsticks, but the cheap plastic re-usable are even better.
