ABSTRACT:
A fringe maker for winding yarns to make a fringe. The fringe maker includes an elongated base having a pair of spaced crank and idler support member recesses interconnected by a longitudinal winding rod recess, a gripping slot, and a ruler recess. A pair of crank and idler support members are pivotally connected to the base within respective of the crank and idler support member recesses. Each has an upright operating position stopped against the base and a horizontal storage position disposed within the support member recesses that each define a storage area thereunder. A pair of crank and idler winding arms each have a central area rotatably connectable to respective of the support members while in the operating positions to rotate about a horizontal axis. A pair of elongated winding rods are disposable in a plurality of spaced relationships equidistant from and at opposite sides of the axis to interconnect the winding arms and form a removable winding unit. A hand crank is used for hand-driving the crank winding arm. A middle winding arm has a pair of end slots and two pluralities of side slots that closely receive the winding rods in the spaced relationships that snap-fits to the winding rods intermediate the winding arms. A bendable ruler closely fits within the ruler recess for storage.
