Talk:Spindle (textiles)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term "Drop Spindle" is used in several wikipedia articles where it really means "Hand spindle" which is more inclusive and includes supported spindles. Ranvaig 06:49, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
The accompanying image is not a picture of a spindle, it is a spinning wheel. Spindles are typically small, hand-held devices resembling a child's top. (Spinning wheels do have an attached spindle, but it is very small compared to the wheel itself.) See [1] for examples. -- samwyse, 70.130.133.221 08:56, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
