This is a vintage (or older) wooden yarn winder, also known as a swift. These devices were essential tools for spinners and weavers before the industrialization of textile production, used to manage and prepare yarn for handcrafting projects.
It features a starburst design with multiple spokes. The winder is made from wood and uses wooden pegs for construction. It functions by holding a skein of yarn and rotating to wind it into a manageable ball or spool.
