A weaver’s workshop with a spinning wheel

The short-haired craftsperson stands near an old-fashioned wooden spinning wheel, a tool used to turn prepared fiber into yarn. A ball of wool and skeins of natural yarn connect the different stages of textile work. Spinning creates the thread, while weaving later crosses threads together to form cloth.

How a spinning wheel twists fiber

As the wheel turns, its mechanism helps draw out fiber and twist it into a continuous strand. Twist gives loose fibers enough strength to remain together as yarn. The finished yarn can be wound into a ball or skein before it is used for weaving, knitting, or another textile craft.

Real colors of wool and spinning tools

  • Natural wool: creamy white, warm beige, brown, black, or gray
  • Spun yarn: off-white, tan, soft brown, charcoal, or naturally dyed colors
  • Wooden spinning wheel: honey brown, reddish brown, or dark walnut brown
  • Ball of wool: white, cream, gray, brown, or black
  • Weaver’s hair: natural shades such as black, brown, blond, red, or gray
Questions and answers

Questions and answers

What is the difference between spinning and weaving?
Spinning twists loose fiber into yarn. Weaving interlaces separate yarns, usually crossing lengthwise and sideways threads to make fabric.
Why does wool stay together when it is spun?
Wool fibers have textured surfaces that catch against one another. Twisting brings the fibers into close contact and forms a stronger, more continuous strand.
What is a skein of yarn?
A skein is yarn wound into a long, organized bundle rather than a round ball. This form can make yarn easier to store, wash, dye, or prepare for use.
