    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.

    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.
