What was that sock-stretching thing?


Something to do with an old-fashioned way to wash (or maybe dry?) socks? It is interesting to see the household objects of yesteryear that have been forgotten by all but the older generations, sitting
next to things like teakettles that still are used and look much the same.

Just a frame for keeping the sock in shape while it dries, There were glove frames too. Wet wool needs to be teased back into shape.
