Test tubes, not beakers. :)
You'll also need a miter box and some sand paper if you want to achieve the fetching angle at the top and the taper on the bottom of the dowels.
This is simple?
Yes- it looks to be an hour project at most. I would also get some glue or double-sided tape. The test tube will slip out of the yarn, if not properly secured.
An hour is a conservative estimate for the first one you make. Unless you have a lathe, the taper will take a while to do by hand (roll the dowel on the edge of a table, holding sand paper in your other hand, moving it along with the dowel as it rolls).
I would probably tape the test tube and use spray adhesive to secure it to the yarn. You can let it dry; all you're looking for is a bit more friction than smooth glass.
Ah, that's what I meant. :-)
