The Liaghra was a tool used in Scottish knitting, especially in the north west, and Argyll. It had various regional names, and is sometimes known in English as a thread winder. It consisted of two sticks crossed together in the centre and set on a swivel pin in a block of wood called the ''Stoc''. A pin of wood is fixed in each of the four extremities of the sticks, and round thus, a hank of thread is placed, which is unravelled and made into a ball, as the operator spins the instrument round. ==Regional names== * ''Crann tachrais'' – Various * ''Na Sgiathan'' (the wings) – Caithness * ''Bodach-sgiathan'' (Old man of the wings) – Sutherland * ''Eachan'' (Horsie) – Argyll * ''Crois-lionradh'' – Lewis 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liaghra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
