Antique 19th Century Wooden Yarn Reel Skein Winder with Storage Box – Primitive Wool Winding Wheel
Authentic antique wooden yarn reel (skein winder) handcrafted from solid hardwood and dating to the mid-to-late 1800s. This traditional textile tool was used after spinning to wind finished yarn into measured skeins for washing, dyeing, or storage.
The reel features beautifully turned arms and supports mounted above an integral storage box with fitted lid for holding spinning tools and supplies. The rich aged patina and hand-crafted construction make this an outstanding example of early American textile equipment.
Today these pieces are highly sought after by collectors of primitive antiques, spinning and weaving enthusiasts, and decorators looking for authentic farmhouse or colonial accents.
