Descripción
Rods, usually tapered at both ends, used as axes in hand spinning. Fibers are drawn and twisted onto the spindle from a mass of wool or other material that is gathered on the distaff. The image of the spindle and distaff has been associated historically with feminine power or virtue. For the similar cylindrical objects used to gather or accumulate thread after it has been spun, and for use in weaving, use "spools."
