IIRC weren't those knitting implements/frames? idk the only thing i know to do with yarn is play with it :3

They can be used for that, but there’s no evidence of wear on them from that usage and there’s simpler tools for that job

well i posit the ones that actually got used wore down to filings and these were overstock because it was a fad anyways. like pet rocks i should go feed mine.
