Bobbin from a ring frame spinning machine
This is a bobbin from the lower section of a ring-spinning frame. The ring-spinning process creates yarn from fibres such as cotton, flax and wool.
In this example, the yarn is wound onto the bobbin to form a tapered shape at the top and bottom. Once the thread has been used, and the bobbin is empty of thread, it could be rewound with thread and reused.
