Thread spool

Name

thread spool - an object to hold thread or sinew for crafts or repairs

Syntax

pull [a] thread from <spool>
wind <thread> {on|onto} <spool>

pull [a] sinew from <spool>
wind <sinew> {on|onto} <spool>

Description

Thread and sinew for crafts and repairs are sold on spools. Individual
threads or sinews can be pulled off them and wound back on if so desired.
However, sinew and threads do not mix and so should only be wound onto
the same type of spool.

Examples


> pull thread from spool
You pull a red cotton thread from the thread spool.

> wind thread onto spool
You wind a red cotton thread onto one of your thread spools.
