What’s That? Guessing Game

Spinning Wheel

This woman is making thread from wool. First the wool was sheared from sheep, cleaned, and carded. Then the woman holds the wool in her hand and wraps a little of it around the spindle. She spins the large wheel as she walks backward from the spindle, causing the spindle to spin and twist the wool fibers into thread. Other animal hair and plant fibers can be spun this same way.
