Acquisitions - a skeiner of some sort

Found it one of the local charity shops, I quickly nabbed it even though I wasn't entirely sure I knew what it would do!

Turns out, its pretty handy actually. Although it does appear to have a design flaw, in that when the arms are opened out (like a 'copter), there is nothing to keep them open. So I currently just use it as shown. The pegs can be moved along the arms, depending on what size skeins you're winding around them. I've found it a handy set-up for quickly creating 10 gram skeins.
