    Very Early, Very Scarce HANDMADE 18th Century Colonial Antique "Knitty Knotty" (For Winding Yarn Into Skeins)
    D
    ESCRIPTION:
    Scans show it all .....a PARTICULARLY NICE antique primitive HAND MADE wooden knitty knotty. These were found on many New England farms from about 1760 to 1820 to wind home spun yarn or thread into skeins. That is why it looks as it does, with one end made 90 degrees from the other.
    Being used hard as a utilitarian item, however, and being fragile, FEW STILL EXIST and these are VERY SCARCE items today. MOST WERE HANDMADE BY THE FARMER AND THEY OFTEN SHOW SIGNS OF THE HAND WORK. THIS ONE CERTAINLY DOES.....You can see (and feel) the roughness where the pieces were hand carved and hand planed.
    This is a particularly well made one, in particularly nice condition, with nice handmade feel. It is made of sturdy pieces of oak, nicely joined together in dove-tail style, as shown, and measures about 12 1/2" x 18 1/2". THIS IS THE NICEST ONE AND EARLIEST ONE I HAVE EVER SEEN!!
    Nice early item from an early Massachusetts farmhouse. Has great age and patina to it, and nice early eye appeal. Makes a super display piece, or for a variety of early American/colonial decorating needs. Especially appropriate for decorating or with a collection of weaving, spinning wheels, knitting things, or knitted items. Also, can still be used in your modern knitting and spinning and weaving work if desired!!
    In excellent condition and a particularly nice, early piece.
