The New Year is often a time of resolutions, exploring possibilities, and partaking in new ventures. One such hobby is spinning and winding textiles; a skill that was considered a staple among early settlers.
Over hundreds of years the Warping Mill or Swift was classified by many names including niddy noddy, nostepine, spinner’s weasel, and clockenhen, to name a few. Its basic historical function was intended to measure 560 yards of yarn into a skein to help prevent knotting. As a result of the swift’s popularity, the “Pop Goes the Weasel” nursery rhyme was inspired by the popping noise it made when the proper number of revolutions were complete. There were many variations of the technology and this version was handmade by the Anderson family for rugs, who immigrated from Sweden to the district of Coal Lake. This artifact was one tool the family couldn’t leave behind on their journey to Canada, which poses the question: what possessions would you ‘need’ to bring if you were moving to a new country? If you would like to share your immigration story, please call or simply drop by the Heritage Museum to ‘unwind’ with us at our Thursday Knit Knights and see other textile tools in action!
