spinning wheel

A spinning wheel is a device for spinning thread or yarn from natural or man-made fibers, where spinning is the process of twisting fibers together to create yarn. The first improvement in spinning technology was the spinning wheel, which was invented in India between 500 and 1000 A.D. It reached Europe via the Middle East in the European Middle Ages. It replaced the earlier method of hand spinning with a spindle. The first stage in mechanizing the process was to mount the spindle horizontally in bearings so that it could be rotated by a cord encircling a large, hand-driven wheel. The great wheel is an example of this type of wheel, where the fiber is held in the left hand and the wheel slowly turned with the right. Holding the fiber at an angle to the spindle produced the necessary twist.
