Historical information

A wool holder bag was a practical item used by knitters or crocheters to keep yarn clean and untangled while working.
The paddle shape and eyelet suggest that wool could be pulled through the hole, keeping it contained while allowing smooth unraveling.
The patriotic illustration indicates it may have been made as a homefront craft during wartime, possibly as a gift or a soldier's aid item.
These types of handmade textile items were common in early 20th-century households, particularly during times of war when knitting socks and garments for soldiers was encouraged.

Physical description

A paddle-shaped fabric bag, made of light-coloured cotton or linen material.
Features a blue ink or pencil drawing on the front, depicting crossed flags of Australia and the United Kingdom, with a wattle branch above them.
A metal eyelet is located near the centre, possibly for threading wool or hanging the bag.
The fabric is stitched together, forming a pocket in the lower section, likely used for holding wool or yarn while knitting or crocheting.
