Thank you Debra, have had a look, but what I really want is one that doesn't
need a material centre. Maybe they will give me some inspiration to draw
elements into a grid from the beginning.

Dear Sue,
That same site has circular patterns galore; more than you can shake a
stick at! ;-D
Dear Janice
They are fabulous! Don't find fault, just be very satisfied with your
effort. The collar is magnificent and handmade is never perfect. My eye was
drawn to all the beautiful elements!
Be proud!

Looks like a folding implement for long lengths of material - perhaps from a
19th century textile mill or similar.

Looks similar to the trim card-winders that stores used to display the
lace/trims/etc on the shop shelves. The fabric stores used to purchase
trims in bulk and then wind off smaller yardage onto card stock for display
-- the same as we see now done now by the distributors to the smaller fabric
Hello Laurie and everyone
I had a further thought, if the distance between top and bottom of the
winder is half of 45, or once around equals 45 inches, then this winder was
used for measuring or packaging, in ells. One ell = 45 inches.

There is new evidence that needle-lace may not have begun in Italy, but

It is intriguing. Could the interpretation be 'lace' as in cording,
connecting two fabrics by means of 'a lace (cord, string etc.)'

Ells? I have not heard that one since I was at school.
My mother used to make our clothes and bought her material from a Jewish
family shop, and always went for the person with the longest arms.
El (Dutch) was the measurement from the tip of the pinky to the knobble on
the elbow, so the longer
