Antique Turned Wooden Yarn Spindles pickle gap crafts Hang it from a ribbonI find these old turned and colorfully dyed wooden spindles, used for hand spinning yarn, so lovely that I just couldn't pass them by, and thought they might still be useful for holding yarn, or as tools of some other sort, or just stuck in a vessel to admire! I'd guess the colorful banding, on both ends in most cases, had a correspondence to the yarns they one held, and would guess the color comes from the same dyes used to color the wool. 19th
