Viking thread winder based on a find from Birka.
Here you can buy a practical Viking thread winder made of wood, which is based on a historical find from Birka.
The historical model for this Viking thread winder comes from the so-called black earth from an excavation in the former Viking town of Birka / Sweden and dates from the 8th to 9th century.
The original Viking thread winder was made of bone and measured 4 cm on the longest side with a thickness of 3.5 mm.
Our replica measures 4.5 cm with a thickness of 5 mm and is made of acacia wood.
A Viking thread winder like this is the forerunner of the thread spool and is not only a practical but also an authentic sewing utensil for winding sewing thread in style.
The end of the thread is inserted through the small hole in the corner to prevent it from unwinding.
