What is a "spindle"?
A spindle is a tool used in spinning fibers into yarn or thread. It typically consists of a slender, pointed rod with a rounded base. The fibers are twisted and spun around the spindle, which rotates to help create a continuous strand of yarn. Spindles can be used by hand or on a spinning wheel and are essential for producing yarn in various thicknesses and textures for knitting, weaving, or other textile crafts.
