    Are you suggesting that electronics came before textiles…?

    Pretty sure this one predates yours by a couple centuries.

      ??? Spools of yarn are still spools. I’ve seen similar racks for threads.

      Edit: And the way you aggressively use downvotes is just plain rude.

        And? The textile industry predates electronics by a LONG time. It’s not just a “spool rack” if that came after…

          A lazy kate is used for spinning multiple yarns into one, but spool racks are used for anything that is on a spool. Spool racks in the textile industry almost certainly existed long before lazy kates did. The electronics was just an example that people were likely very familiar with.

          And downvoting comments like you’re doing is just rude. It doesn’t make your comments any more correct.
