Bought a bag of Speed Weves for 50 pence from a nice lady in the Memorial Hall sale this morning..
"Lancashires Smallest Loom."

In the bag of speed Weves was this sock, still attached to the speed Weve..I am still unsure how it is used , but it does look like it might have darned some of this sock.

Add your comment here... Which explains how to use it...ingenious.

Found on an indoor boot sale in Little Budworth. NOT metal I agree...but a nice use of packing to make the elastic on the spool easier to use. NB two holes to pass the thread through to prevent run away spoolage.
