ABSTRACT:
A device permitting yarn or the like to be pulled from a skein by the performance of a handcraft such as knitting. A spindle passes through the skein and a support structure holds the spindle in a vertical position. The support structure includes a base, an upright attached to the base, and a spindle support at the top of the upright. The base and spindle support have means rotatably attaching them to the upright to allow folding up the device for storage and portability. However, means are provided to fix the position of the upright with respect to the base, when the device is in use. The ends of the spindle fit into recesses in the base and spindle support. The means for attaching the spindle support to the upright allows the spindle support to rotate upward so that the spindle can be inserted in and removed from the recesses. The spindle has a spacer attached near its lower end to hold the yarn away from the base. In a preferred embodiment, the recesses into which the yarn spindle fits are provided with bearing surfaces to reduce rotational friction.
