Vintage Wooden Bobbin With String

We have a selection of original vintage bobbins which were used in textile mills and are an artifact from a bygone industrial age.  

Yarn or thread was wound onto these cylindrical spools, to be unwound in a smooth continuous movement during the weaving process.

They have now been reworked to make useful string holders and come complete with jute string.

Each one measures approx 11cm high and 8.5cm across.
