Sewing spools and thread spools of the past were crafted in a completely different manner. The most privative sewing spools were large, unwieldy things hand carved from wood. Many of these sewing antiques are still beautiful, and excellent examples of how sewing has changed throughout the years. As time progressed, spools and other thread holding devices were gradually whittled down to what you are more used to seeing now, but there were numerous unique incarnations throughout the years.
