SWEERIE BOX, DA. Shetland, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "The 'Sweerie Box' is a receptacle for holding two reels of woolen thread so that they can both be fed into the spinning wheel together. This is called 'twinin' in Shetland. The tune tries to give the rhythm of the reels when they are twinin" (Anderson).
