| Description
| Saxony spinning wheel. This particular Saxony spinning wheel has been adapted to assist in the winding of the thread from bobbins onto pirns (inside shuttles).
As the spinning of the yarn became more mechanised, spinning wheels tended to be built and used solely for the winding of yarn onto pirns. |
