Description
This skein winder was likely created in the 1800s. After fiber was spun it needed to be transferred to a skein for ease of handling. The thread was run from the spinning bobbin and tied to one arm of the winder. Two holes at one end of the board may have held pegs for bobbins. This compact style of winder could have been used on a table, and was easier to store than the free standing winders. The creator of this skein winder is unknown.
