Polished Ox Bone Viking Thread Winder - Traditional Norse Thread Winder

Polished Ox Bone Viking Thread Winder - Traditional Norse Thread Winder

Small in size but rich in tradition, this Viking yarn winder is a faithful nod to the textile tools used in Northern Europe in the early Middle Ages. Made of polished natural bone, its smooth edges and balanced shape make it perfect for keeping thread and yarn organized while spinning, weaving, or hand-embroidering.

Norse women and textile artisans often used this type of winder to organize spun fibers, especially in homes where weaving was an everyday task. Its design reflects both the practical efficiency and minimalist beauty often found in Viking household implements.

Each piece is individually polished, celebrating the grain and variation of natural bone, making each winder distinct in pattern and tone. Its durable construction and compact size make it easy to transport or store in a sewing kit or work bag.

IDEAL FOR:

Storing yarns during spinning or weaving

Textile crafts, such as nalbinding, tablet weaving, and embroidery

Period-inspired workshops or living history craft tables

Ideal gift for historical craftsmen or collectors of heritage tools

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

Keep dry: Store in a moisture-free environment to protect the bone finish.

Clean: Use a soft cloth to remove any lint or residue after use.

Avoid heavy pressure: Although strong, bone is naturally brittle under pressure.

Store it safely: Keep it in a bag or box to prevent scratching or chipping.
