Spinning is a process of making threads of various thicknesses and physical properties from fibrous plants (jute, flax, hemp, cotton), wool and silk fibers, chemical fibers. Spinning is done manually and by machines. Spinning by hand is known from the late Neolithic period. Later, it spread widely among almost all peoples of the world. Spinning from cotton fiber was first known in India. In Central Asia, the cultivation of cotton, the spinning of yarn, and the weaving of gauze were an art from the beginning of Christ. The simplest method of hand-spinning was to make a skein of fiber with the fingers and gradually thin it between the palms while holding it in a hanging position. Later, the double-pointed bobbin appeared, and threading became much easier.
In Uzbekistan, the ancient Urchu was much improved and a wheel was made. The wheel of such a wheel was turned by hand, so that its wheel was turned from side to side by means of a pulley. Gradually the wheel was improved. Fibers were first combed and flattened on wooden combs to spin yarn on a spinning wheel. From the fibers prepared for spinning, pils were made, and threads of almost the same thickness were woven from them. Hand spinning is still used in some places.
