Spinning wheel
A
spinning wheel
is a device for
spinning
thread or
yarn
from
natural
or
synthetic
fibres
. Spinning wheels appeared in China, probably in the 11th century, and very gradually replaced
hand spinning
with
spindle
and
distaff
. Spinning machinery, such as the
spinning jenny
and
spinning frame
, displaced the spinning wheel during the
Industrial Revolution
.
