We got some from my mother but have no idea on how to use them. Neither did my mother, by the way...


Can anyone here tell me how these are used?

The term you for which you are looking is bobbin. These are used for doing intarsia patterns by winding an amount of yarn around the bobbins to work the design. To use the ones you have pictured, wind a length of yarn around the bobbin from top to bottom. DA
