Description
Lace bobbin winder, two parts - the arms which hold the skeins of thread, the wheel which turns the thread from the arms to the bobbin.
Lace bobbin winders consist of two parts - the arms which hold the skeins of thread and the wheel which turns the thread from the arms to the bobbin. This winder is made of beech and wych-elm. Each of the four arms in constructed in one piece, and the wheel has no groove for a guiding cord. The stand has a compartment in it, presumably to hold empty bobbins.
