ABSTRACT:
An adjustable thread and yarn dispenser and winder caddy includes a base supporting a vertically mounted dowel over which is mounted a removable spindle. On the spindle is at least one thread supporting member frictionally fitted and vertically adjustable thereon. The bottom of the spindle rests loosely on the base and is freely rotatable. A spool of crochet thread or skein of yarn may be mounted between the vertically adjustable and removable frusto-conical support members which accommodate variances in spool sizes, shapes and thread mass. A hank of thread or left-over length of yarn may be wound onto the spindle for storage or for dispensing. Flat circular discs can be substituted for the frusto-conically shaped support members.
