ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for managing stranded media for hand-working includes a base frame; a vertical spindle unit having a shaft, and first and second flanges. A guide for the media is manually movable during operation of the crank for axially dispersing portions of the media being rewound between opposite ends of the spindle, the guide being selectively held stationary in an intermediate position for dispensing the media through the guide with limited axial displacements of the media from the supply. The apparatus can include a crank on the spindle shaft, part of the frame extending near the crank for manual support of the apparatus while cranking. The guide can be biased in one direction, and a control member coupled to the guide for movement in the other direction in response to downward finger pressure for rewinding with one hand turning the crank and the other hand holding the frame and moving the control member. The spindle unit can include a removable temporary core, a guide pin being axially connectable to the temporary core in flush relation to the temporary core when it is removed from the first flange, the guide pin having a smoothly blunt tapered end profile for piercing a skein of the media without damage to the stranded media. Another configuration has the blunt end profile on a solid spindle shaft that is received in the frame by temporarily deflecting the frame, rewinding being facilitated by a second horizontal orientation of the spindle.
