minus-square@CelloMike@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish4•2 months agoCould it be something to do with clothing, thinking like a hoop skirt? Or part of a tent structure maybe
minus-square@SpikesOtherDog@ani.socialOPlinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 months agoI was thinking about skirt hoops, but everything I see like it is painted and doesn’t show snaps. It could be it, since it is probably 40+ years old.
minus-square@SpikesOtherDog@ani.socialOPlinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 months agoNope, they are about 3, 5, and 6 feet long. They are made of spring steel and have 3 snaps at each end.
minus-square@LillyPip@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 months agoYeah, sorry, I thought at first they were 3 separate, tapered lengths, but looked again and realised it’s one long looped steel. It’s still almost certainly not related to hoops, but I dunno what it is.
minus-square@SpikesOtherDog@ani.socialOPlinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 months agoIt’s fine. I figured it would be fun to talk about!
minus-square@BCsven@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish1•16 days agoMaybe for poofing out a skirt after travel, the snaps so you can collapse the hoop for travel?
