This is a lovely vintage thread holder and needle case with a very dark burgundy-brown exterior which I think is faux leather and a pink watered silk interior. It comes with  3 small amounts of vintage cream, purple and pink mercerised cotton embroidery threads and a very small amount of vintage lilac perle embroidery thread.

The interior is divided into sections. The long ones go from side to side and are designed to hold threads - you would cut one end of the skein and gently pull the looped end through the channel. Then you could pull out a thread at a time while keeping the rest of the skein clean and tangle free. There are two smaller shallower pockets and a piece of flannel for needles.

Closed, it measures 10.5cm wide and 7.8cm high.

It is in very good condition for its age with minor wear around the spine, where the faux leather has cracked as the hinge flexes and some shattering of the silk in the inside of the spine, again, due to the movement as it opens and closes.

A fabulous little item for collectors or embroiderers either for display or to be used and loved again.
