One of the bobbins that came with my vintage wheel (there were 3, which is the original number!) needed fixing. The ends had come unglued from the shaft. There was still yarn wrapped around the shaft, but it was very old and deteriorating. So the first step was to get the yarn off.

I started winding it off, but it came off in pieces, so my Dad helped and cut off the remaining yarn. I then had the three pieces separated.

I sanded down the old glue and roughed up the surfaces to be glued, and used a wood glue to reattach the ends to the shaft. The next day I had my third spindle back and ready to roll!
