The bench has legs so a person can sit and turn the big wagon wheel on it to pull yarn through. What is it called?
A knitting Loom and/or darning instrument much like a modern circular loom see this website for kntting but most knitting machinery carries the same name as any textile machiner a variation on the word loom.

"""Knitting loom and darning instrument. (I asked the attendant at the museum how this darning thing works, she didn’t know, and the catalogue only said ‘darning tool’. Does anyone care to fill me in on this? It looks like the plate works kind of like a darning .

It sounds like a spinning wheel. It was used to spin the yarn.

It’s not a loom, it’s a spinning wheel. It’s used for making yarn out of wool and other materials.
