"Spinning and weaving of wool and flax were home industries well into the 19th century. The cloth will have been used at home for clothes or was sold, being a valuable source of income. This wooden box with a handle is a 'yarnet', part of the equipment used by a home-working weaver from Strathdon, Aberdeenshire. It was used to hold the prepared bobbins or skeins of yarn that were to be woven either on a large loom, or on a small 'garteen leem'."
