Definition of spinning wheel in English English dictionary

a domestic device for making yarn or thread; having a single spindle and a wheel driven by hand or foot

A spinning wheel is a wooden machine that people used in their homes to make thread from wool, in former times. An apparatus for making yarn or thread, consisting of a foot-driven or hand-driven wheel and a single spindle. Early machine for turning textile fibre into thread or yarn, which was then woven into cloth on a loom. The spinning wheel was probably invented in India, though its origins are unclear. It reached Europe via the Middle East in the Middle Ages. The improvement of the loom in 18th-century England created a yarn shortage and a demand for mechanical spinning. The result was a series of inventions that converted the spinning wheel into a powered, mechanized component of the Industrial Revolution (see drawing frame; spinning jenny; water frame)

a small domestic spinning machine with a single spindle that is driven by hand or foot
