- "Spool knitting, corking, French knitting or tomboy knitting is a form of knitting that uses a spool with a number of nails around the rim to produce a narrow tube of fabric. The spool knitting devices are called knitting spools, knitting nancys, or French knitters.
The technique is to wrap the yarn around the spool´s pegs. The yarn is then lifted over, thereby creating stitches. This process is repeated continually until the project is complete.
Spool knitting is a traditional way to teach children the basic principles of knitting. According to Mary McCormack, author of Spool Knitting (published in 1909), "Few elementary exercises have aroused more interest in the child than the toy knitting; due, perhaps, to its simplicity and his power to do it easily and well."" - (en.wikipedia.org 14.06.2021)
