The manual spinning wheel consists of a vertical part in the form of a scapula to which the tow was attached and a horizontal part - the bottom where the spinning rod was seated. Such spinning wheels are often decorated with painting or carving. The spindle is a wooden chipped stick with a pointed top and thickened at the bottom. To make the spindle heavier, a small round-shaped weight with a hole in the middle - a spindle was put on it. This extra weight allowed the spindle to spin longer. For convenience in the work and as a decoration on the spindles cut rings-grooves. It was necessary to possess patience and manual dexterity, so that the thread drawn from the tow would be thin, even and durable. Most often the thread was pulled with the left hand and the right one was wound on a spindle. Spinning with a spindle required a lot of time. The girls learned to spin from an early age in order to have time to prepare their own dowry.
