Flat Wooden Bobbin

This Flat Wooden Bobbin is an antique reproduction inspired by the traditional bobbins used during the Victorian era. Bobbins like these were commonly used in the textile industry for winding thread or yarn, especially during the era of hand weaving, spinning, and early industrial manufacturing. The flat shape allowed for easy stacking and storage, making them essential tools in both domestic and industrial settings.
