Sone Of the Ancient Spinning Reel

Song Of the Ancient Spinning Reel.
The first reel that was invented was
the hand reel. the yarn being wound
into skeins by turning the wheel and
fastening the skeins after counting a
sufficient number of strands. The fax
was first woven into thread or yarn
on the spinning wheel; then the bob
bins full Of yarn were placed on the
hand reel and yarn wound off them on
to the wheels into skeins. The strands
were carefully counted and the lieben
fastened on them to keep them togeth-
across the skeins to keep them in
place.
A later invention was the clock reel
with face on which numbers were
printed. and it had two hands like a
clock. When the wheel was turned,
reeling off the strands from the bobbin.
the clock would tick when a certain
number of strands were wound on the
reel. and the housewife. instead Of
tediously counting the threads. as on
the earlier invented reel, would fasten
on the lieben.
In quaint old ballad entitled Mis-
tress Polly at the Reel" occurs this re-
frain:
He kissed Mistress Polly as the clock reel
licked,
the kissing being done at the propi-
tious moment when Mistress Polly
was busy fastening on the lieben.
