Thread spindles or bobbins were used in industrial textile mills. Vintage bobbins are a colorful, bohemian knickknack that add a touch of industrial decor to your abode.
Bobbins, and the machinery they ran on, were some of the greatest inventions of the Victorian Era. Originally created to manage the piles of thread and yarn that would be mechanically woven into cloth, bobbins helped to revolutionize textile manufacturing. Most mills had wooden bobbins made specifically for their machinery, which resulted in the many varied shapes and sizes of spools.
Traditional wooden bobbins were made from hardwoods and have been retired from current manufacturing. Place on a shelf for a pop of industrial color.
