wool spinning
Making yarn manually
Wool spinning is the craft of twisting wool fibers into yarn or thread.
The process transforms loose fleece into continuous strands suitable for knitting, weaving, or other textile work.
Spinning can be done by hand with a drop spindle or on a spinning wheel: She took up wool spinning after inheriting her grandmother's wheel.
