Hand-Turned Wooden Spool for Thread and Yarn
A Timeless Helper for Every Artisan
Whether you are an experienced seamstress, an enthusiastic camper repairing your gear, or simply a lover of traditional crafts, this wooden bobbin will serve you well. It is lightweight, durable, and shaped to prevent the thread from slipping off. The smoothly finished surface ensures that even the finest thread will not snag. With two available sizes, you can choose the one that perfectly fits your needs – the smaller one for minor repairs and fine threads, the larger one for bulkier yarns or cords.
A Touch of History in Your Kit
In times when every thread was valuable because its production required much time and effort, proper storage was key. Wooden spools and bobbins helped to keep yarn clean, untangled, and ready for use. They were an indispensable part of the equipment in every household, tailor's workshop, and military camp. By owning this spool, you are not just acquiring an object, but also a connection to the daily lives of our ancestors.
Choose the Right Size for You

Please note: As these are handmade items, the dimensions and wood grain may vary slightly from piece to piece. This adds to the unique character of each spool.
Care for Your Wooden Spool
To ensure your spool lasts as long as possible, keep it in a dry place. To clean, simply wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. If you wish to enhance the wood grain and add protection, you can lightly oil it with a natural oil (such as linseed). Do not expose it to prolonged moisture and never wash it in a dishwasher.
