About this object
This lazy kate belonged to Kath Smith who was a member of the Edendale Spinning Group.
In spinning, a lazy kate is used to hold one or more spools or bobbins in place while the yarn on them is wound off from the side of the bobbin. Typically, a kate consists of multiple rods, which allow the bobbins to spin. Some spinning wheels have built-in kates, although these tend to be more cumbersome to use than free-standing ones.
