spool knitting

a knitting technique that uses a spool with pegs or nails to create a narrow, tubular cord or braid

Spool knitting is a technique used to create knitted tubes using a small, cylindrical tool called a spool. The spool has nails or pegs around its edge where yarn is looped and wound. As the yarn is knitted around these pegs, it forms a continuous, tubular shape. This technique is often used to make items such as cords, belts, or decorative elements and is valued for its simplicity and ability to produce a structured knitted piece.
