1, the spinning

Pendant is a tool used for spinning. The appearance of fish-scale cloth can be traced back to the Neolithic Age. According to the data, in the excavated sites of early residents, almost all the main parts of the spinning wheel have been unearthed. The early spinning wheels unearthed were generally made of stone or pottery pieces simply polished, with different shapes, most of which were shaped like drums, circles, oblates, quadrilaterals and so on. Some of the wheels were also decorated with patterns on their faces. As a handy spinning tool, the pendant is still used in some places.

2, the spinning wheel

According to the structure, the ancient universal spinning wheel can be divided into hand and foot. The foot spinning wheel is developed on the basis of the hand spinning wheel. The hand spinning wheel drives the spinning wheel by shaking the spinning wheel with one hand and spinning with the other. The foot spinning wheel can operate the spinning wheel with both hands. Spinning on a spinning wheel is still used in some remote areas.

3. Large hydraulic spinning wheel

The number of spindles in ancient spinning wheels was usually 2 to 3, mostly 5. With the development of the spinning wheel, a large spinning wheel with dozens of spindles came into being. The large spinning wheel is different from the original spinning wheel in that it has dozens of spindles and is driven by water power. These characteristics make the large spinning wheel have the embryonic form of modern spinning machinery and adapt to large-scale specialized production.
