This was fascinating! I've always wondered how spinning worked, I had no Idea beyond fairy tales what a spindle was, and I didn't realise they did it without a spinning wheel during this time period. Really really interesting. I love to see how the every day stuff was done, much more interesting to me than kings and battles and all the big stuff.

I'm writing a story with a spinster as a main character, and I knew like the very basics, but now I'm here to double check stuff.
