Antique Wooden Spool from French Silk Mill – 12"

This beautifully crafted antique wooden spool comes from a silk mill in Lyon, France, a city with a long history of silk weaving and textile production. Originally used in the weaving process, it is a wonderful piece of textile history, with a simple, functional design and the warm character of aged wood.

The spool's generous size and classic shape make it as useful for display as it is interesting to collect. Wrap it with a favorite length of ribbon, vintage lace, or decorative trim, or display it alongside other antique sewing tools and haberdashery finds.

I have one in my own unofficial museum of haberdashery! It's the sort of object that reminds us of the tools and craftsmanship behind the textiles we use today.
