Whenever someone says that it's never easy, lol
Is it some kind of key?
Can't think of a thing.
Pen how big is it? It could be a few inches or a few feet as there is no scale reference.
Its about 18 inches. Its not a key.
Is that a woman's inch or a mans idea of an inch lol
Is it something to do with pottery?
Otherwise, is it some sort of primitive gym equipment ;)
Stella a womans (rofl)
No nothing to do with pottery or exercise. My Mum used one (and me occasionally) and they still make them to this day.
Still make them?...it looks like a pick axe for a gnome!....is it anything to do with shoes?(think)
Is it a home brew hammer? for tapping the side of the tank to here if it is fermented?
I thought this would be easy (think) I guess because I spent so much of my life with one around that I did not consider that other people would not have! No its nothing to do with shoes and although my mum was into home wine making its nothing to do with that. Some more clues then. It is more likely to be used by a woman than a man and a few hundred years ago every home would have had one. The activity that it is involved with has become more popular again in the last thirty years.
Something to do with knitting?
Something to do with bread making?
Anything to do with tightening a corset?
Is it a culinary thing?
do u wind thread around it?
Is it to untangle fishing line?
It could be used for either of those... but no.
Is it a wool winder.
I remember as a child holding both hands out and mum putting a hank or skein of wool across them then unwinding the wool from the skein/hank and winding it in to a ball.
Could this be used to hold a hank or skein of wool for such a process.
Well that was involved, hope you get my drift.
Edit: reason typos :)
Well the boys have got close enough. Its a niddy noddy. Its used to wind wool off a spinning wheel after it has been plyed and to stretch it so it holds its twist. It is then tied and washed. My mum used to spin a lot so this got used quite a bit in my house.
