I think there is a knob at the other end, too, - deep in the shadow of the basket. I first thought it was for winding up your yardage lace, but the knobby bit in the centre would make this difficult. Then I decided it might be where you can wind on threads - like some of the DMC thread that comes in a skein, not a ball. When they fall apart the thread tangles, so winding it on a core of some sort eliminated this. There are 2 necks so 2 threads could be held on the one tool.
Still, - a needle case - yes, that seems probable if the end takes off. Regards from Liz in Melbourne, Oz.
