ABSTRACT:
The device of this invention performs the functions of one hand in performing a variety of the tasks ordinarily requiring two hands while doing needle craft, yarn work and the like. The invention may serve those having the use of both hands but is specifically developed to meet the needs of those who have the use of only one hand. The device is characterized by a stand having a base and an upright standard and a horizontal arm joined to the top of the standard by means of a free pin hinge. In the mid region of the standard is positioned a rotatable tray having upward angled pegs around its perimeter for holding yarns, strands, spools and the like and the tray has in its top surface shallow troughs for holding small implements, needles, hooks and the like. The top surface of the horizontal arm has a spring loaded clamp near its free end and an upward directed binding post near the clamp and a plate having a multiplicity of various sized holes passing through the plate and the arm below the plate. The clamp, post and holed plate serve to enable a person to tie a knot and draw it tight while using only one hand. A turret having several sizes of needle threaders is rotatably mounted to the underside of the arm. Pin cushions are secured to the arm and standard.
