unrollers

Those who unwind

Those who unroll things—scrolls, carpets, sleeping bags, or anything wound into a cylinder.

The word appears most often in technical contexts describing machinery that feeds material from rolls: The paper unrollers kept jamming.

Figuratively, unrollers might be people who reveal or lay out something gradually: unrollers of elaborate schemes.
