Textiles and manufacturing. 1  Spindle (textiles), a device to spin fibers into thread. 2  Spindle (tool), a rotating axis of the machine, which often has a shaft at its heart. 3  Segmented spindle, a spindle consisting of discrete elements that can be assembled and disassembled on the fly.
The Spinner by William-Adolphe Bouguereau shows a woman hand-spinning using a drop spindle. Fibers to be spun are bound to a distaff held in her left hand.

For thousands of years, fibre was spun by hand using simple tools, the spindle and distaff.
