Old Time Bobbin winder
Old time bobbin winder old spool of yarn and old shuttle Another picture of bobbin winder close up of paper bobbin being wound weaving shuttle in background Ok, I have been wanting to share this with you. This is an old piece of weaving equipment with an old spool of weaving yarn still in its original wrapper.These were given to me by various people who did not want to throw them away but thought since I weave and their mother or aunt use to weave then I would want to have them. Boy !are they right!I just love my old things.They tell me how hard they worked and what pride they had in creating the items that they felt their family would enjoy. To use this bobbin winder you have to make paper bobbins to hold the yarn . It is then removed off the shaft and put into the weaving shuttle. What a lot of use this winder must gave seen. The shaft is a little bent but still winds. It is belt driven with a leather belt still in good shape. paper bobbin in shuttle The bobbin win
