This is really one for the children - a machine that twists wool, the end result can be used for necklaces or friendship bracelets. 'Im in the Garage made the gadget and it is guaranteed to entertain the young and the young at heart at fayres or other events where the public are.
Three strands of wool are put on the loops at the back and the handle is turned at the front so twisting them, whilst they are tied together and stretched out. Then gradually the tension is released the the three strands automatically join together. The children love turning the handle and marvel at the end result, which you can see on top.
A giant-sized Lucet! - what fun, lots of groups which do re-enactments will want one of these! I bought a little wooden lucet years ago at an Antique Fair, but I never really came to terms with it.
ReplyDeleteMaureen unless you see this machine in action it does not give the full impact of how fun it is! I am hoping that in a few weeks time at a Christmas Fayre it will be popular with the children.
ReplyDeleteThat's something my grandchildren and the kids at school would love! It's too bad we don't live closer to each other!
ReplyDeleteWish I lived close enough to try it! I can imagine them going together, what fun!
ReplyDeleteMichelle and Diane it really is a hit with the children and it would be good to lend it out to other groups who are close by, so yes it is a great shame you can't borrow it.
