Hand-Spun Cotton Thread and Twine

Cotton fibres are short, so they hold together only with a lot of twist. Spinners in India spun them on a takli, a light spindle twirled with its point resting in a small bowl so the fine yarn never carries the spindle's weight. Two singles twisted together the other way make a thread; four or more make a twine. From seed cotton: take out the seeds, fluff the fibre, spin, then ply.
