Description

This is wooden spinning wheel for spinning yarn or thread commonly known in Ilocos as kidkiran. It essentially consists of a simple spindle driven by hand. The smaller wheel is carved with floral design. Not all homes have a kidkiran on hand as this is typically found in weaving communities.

This item is part of the DM Guevara Collection which pays tribute to the Filipino artisans of the past two centuries. Comprising of both fine furniture collections and folk implements, the collection highlights Western and Asian influences that are exquisite and functionally Filipino. The DM Guevara Collection was put together by the family matriarch Carmen S. Guevara for the Museo ng Buhay Pilipino in 1979.
