Pick the spinning wheel that you can conveniently bring to classes, spin-in workshops and other places during vacation. You should also consider the available space you have and where you intend to store the item during travel like your car or the overhead compartment of an airplane. If you have enough space, you may pick a more stylish spinning wheel to double as a decorative piece. Moreover, according to evidence, spinning wheels have already been widely used in the Middle East and in China back in the eleventh century. Based on the diary of Irfan Habib, the first spinning wheel was brought to India from an Iranian entrepreneur back in the thirteenth century. Replacing other methods The spinning wheel was initially invented to replace the old hand spinning device and its spindle. In fact, even though they were still young girls, they were already trained by their grandmothers. Training started when the girls are ten years old, with a far more intense one once they reach puberty stages. Commitment to the project Although many believe that weaving is such an easy task, it actually needs a lot of commitment and could take such a long time before an end product is made. Time to spin For those who have always dreamed of having their very own spinning wheels like in famous fairy tales they have to save hundreds of dollars. In order to save, they can always just buy some affordable drop spindles that can be found in most fiber sellers. Also, a homemade drop spindle can also be used with the help of two old compact discs and a piece of a half inch dowel rod that measures around twelve inches. Feather out a single and of the fiber then overlap it right on the yarn. Pinch the yarn and fiber using the lower hand, then pinch just over the point using the upper hand. Rotate using the lower hand, then move the hand up to the pinch position. Do not worry much about the spindle's activity, but keep it from turning backward, away from the arrow then let go of the twist.
