Spooling

Good things do come to those who wait, at least once in a while. You may recall this wannabut lot of seven vintage spools that I lost because it went for more than my minimum bid of $10.00. I didn't give up on the search for spools, and kept watching the listings.

That's how I got this lot of six vintage spools and spindles for $9.99. It actually works better for me than the first lot because the spools are all tall.

Once they arrived I noted they were a bit dusty, but so delightfully vintage, with traces of old paint still on the ends, and some of the yarn they held still wrapped around them. These go for $15 to $20 each in the antique stores, so I'm super happy to have them all for less than ten bucks -- and I will put them to good use this year.
