It dates back to weaving and college days.  The strings holding it all together are rotting so they needed to be replaced and then I found that 2 of the slats were missing.  I went back up to the attic and found one of the slats.  By the time the other one shows up, I will be thinking- hmmm, I remember I was looking for this- now what did I need it for.  <br \/>\nAnyway, I have resurrected this because I realized I could use it as a way of winding yarn off a cone and making a large number of threads all the same length&#8230; i.e. <b style=\"color:black;background-color:#A0FFFF\">doll <\/b><b style=\"color:black;background-color:#99ff99\">hair<\/b>!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"swift2.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/archives\/swift2.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Well, it works well enough even with one slat missing.

After I wound it out, I tied it off and washed it.  It had a grimey and oily feel to it.  Much better now.  I need to make a wig cap and then cut the yarn.
