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.
