Spindle
A spindle is a straight spike usually made from wood used for spinning, twisting fibers wool, and cotton into yarn. It is often weighted at the bottom, middle, or top, commonly by a disc called a whorl. And if they don’t have a whorl, they are made thick at the bottom. The spindle may have a hook, groove, or notch at the top to guide the yarn.
This tentative research proposal comprehensively satisfies the factors of fives Ws and one H in the following manner:
WHAT: The main character of my thesis concept is a spindle. The word spindle originated from the Old English word of spinel, which means to rotates in a fast manner

WHO: The character of my thesis concept is the spindle called Firki (thread bobbin). It will be designed as an android game, where Firki will play the pivotal role of weaving (interlacing of threads to form cloth) cloth with individual and novel designs. Firki is a handmade wooden spindle, weathered with use, prone to breakages and entangling threads, which will prove to be the hurdles in the game. Firki will play on the command of the user.
WHEN: This game will be developed in the year 2014 and will be produced as an end product in early 2015.

WHERE: The origin of the first wooden spindle is lost to history because the materials did not survive. Whorl-weighted spindles date back at least to Neolithic times; spindle whorls have been found in archaeological digs around the world.
A spindle is also part of traditional spinning wheels, such as the Indian charkha and the great or walking wheel. In industrial yarn production, spindles are used as well; see spinning jenny, spinning mule and ring spinning. It’s commonly found in North American and South Asian states.
WHY: The use of spindle is the means of livelihood of many rural women and of Pakistan, who contribute to our textile industry. The spindle symbolizes their craft and

    Cotton Gin History

    In the late 1700’s many people were trying to figure out a way to remove the seeds from cotton because it was very time consuming and “labor was a slow [and] expensive process” (Shectman 65). In the 1740’s the people of India had created a machine called the churka (a sankrit word for a jerking motion) that separated the cotton seeds from the clean fiber. “The cotton was fed through the dual rollers, which grabbed the fiber tightly and pinched free the seeds. The seeds were trapped by long groves in the rollers and deposited onto the floor, while the now-clean fiber exited the rollers” (Shectman 65). With this new invention women were able to spin their own yarn and cloth. In 1793 a spin-off the churka was created and renamed the cotton gin, which soon became a revolutionary…

    The 1970s in America highlighted women’s fight for advancement and liberation from their lives formally known as homemakers and caregivers. Although women had the right to vote for over fifty years, the Equal Rights Amendment had still not passed since it had been introduced to congress in 1923. With the inequality still widespread, it came as no surprise women were still fighting for their equality in all aspects of their lives. Many women in this time turned to newspapers and magazines for the news and advice on the topic of women’s liberation. One such magazine, Redbook, targeted young married women with children. Although the magazine did contain several articles discussing women’s advancement, Redbook in 1971 perpetuated traditional gender roles as women being…

    Before the reading, I did not know that the American colonies were not allowed to export cloth. I knew that trade of wool and cotton was a regular thing, but I never knew how important it was to the Europeans. Being an export of theirs for centuries, I understand why they wouldn’t want a competitor. I was also unaware of the vocabulary words, “Spindle Whorls”. I know wonder if this is the same way that ropes were made back then.…

    Before the industrial revolution families lived on farms that were mostly self-sufficient. They made their own clothing, grew their own food and educated their children. Cloth was made from cotton or wool, depending on the environment, and it was almost always hand woven. With the invention of the Spinning Jenny in 1764 by James Hargreaves the chore of making cloth became much easier. Instead of a regular spinning wheel, which could only make one piece of thread at a time, the spinning jenny had 8 spindles, making 8 threads while only turning one wheel. The "descendant" of the spinning jenny would have to be Richard Arkwright's water frame, invented in 1769. It used two rollers, making the thread more useful; the yarn could be used for anything. In 1733 John Kay invented the flying shuttle which decreased the amount of workers needed to operate a loom and increased the quality of the cloth created on that loom. It also doubled the amount of cloth each loom could produce. This invention was greatly appreciated among factories, less people were needed…

People were relieved of this misery by the invention of a machine by James Hargreaves called spinning jenny that enabled workers to individually produce numerous spools of threads simultaneously.
