There is a design for 'Het garenklosje' (the yarn spool), an otherwise unknown crease and collapse design from a 2:3 rectangle divided into thirds in 'De Kleine Papierwerkers 1: Wat men van een stukje papier al maken kan: Het vouwen' (The Small Paperwork 1: What one can make from a piece of paper: Folding) by Elise Van Calcar, which was published by K H Schadd in Amsterdam in 1863.
