Yeah, but you can't get those wooden spools nowadays...

What do you make with it?

Jewellery. Beaded cords for necklaces, plain cords for hanging pendants from. One thing which is pushing my quest is that, while various tutorials blithely say "and you can also put beads inside the tube", I've found that when I try that, the beads simply fall out, because the gauge of my knitting spools is too large. Thus, trying to make a knitting spool with small gauge, which will also make a cord of sufficiently small diameter that it is suitable for necklaces.

Mind you, the size of Spool #10 is so small that I wouldn't be able to push large beads down into it while I was knitting, but I am hopeful that cords made with it would still be suitable for putting large beads into after the cord is made.
