Description
A vintage spinning wheel draped in shadows. Taken in one of the recreated artisan homes at Vermilionville Historic Village in Lafayette, LA.
A spinning wheel is a device for spinning thread or yarn from natural or synthetic fibers. Spinning wheels appeared in Asia, probably in the 11th century, and very gradually replaced hand spinning with spindle and distaff. Spinning machinery, such as the spinning jenny and spinning frame, displaced the spinning wheel during the Industrial Revolution.
