Fix the cotton wadding, cotton yarn or hemp batch on the hook, lift the spindle and rotate it to spin the cotton wadding, yarn or hemp batch into fine hemp rope. Most hemp ropes are used for spinning shoes. Because the spindle is easy to get materials, when people eat meat, they can select a bone with appropriate length and thickness from the bones to be thrown away; Because of its simple structure and easy manufacture, almost every family had it before the 1950s and 1960s. Shaanxi Province Henan Province It is also called "lifting", Heilongjiang Province It is also called "pulling hammer". Spindles and spinning wheels are both tools for spinning thread and rope, but spinning wheels are much more complex in structure and much more efficient than spindles. See the entry "spinning wheel".
