Description
Circa 1940s silk winder from a textile mill with twelve spokes and a small strip of leather around the center shaft. Although, formerly used for industrial purposes, these yarn swifts made great primitive decorative objects. Additionally, given its starburst shape, it works well with even modernist decor.
