Name two hand-operated devices used for spinning.
The two hand-operated devices used for spinning are:
- Takli
- Charkha
[Extra information: Spinning is a process of making yarn from fibres. It includes the process of making thread out of raw fibre (cotton, wool, flax, silk). The process uses fibres from a mass of cotton wool which is drawn out and twisted. Through this fibres come together to form a yarn. Fabric is made from using yarns.
The above image shows a spinning wheel.
Spinning can be done by hand. Later on, takli and charkha were widely used for this process. On a large scale, spinning is done with the help of machines.
[Note: Gandhiji used to work on a charkha. He made it a symbol of our freedom movement during the war of independence as it symbolised manual labour.]
