The story

Spools –  were used for spinning, weaving, sewing, and needlework. The spinning wheel never stopped. Everyone in the household learned to spin, but the unmarried women, called ‘spinsters’, spent their entire days spinning.  A good spinner easily walked the equivalent of 20 miles a day and made six skeins of yarn.
