Spinning and Spinning Wheels A Brief History of Machines for Making Thread and Yarn A Brief History of Machines for Making Thread and Yarn Making thread and yarn is as old as clothing made of fibers. Originally fibers were twisted together by hand, but some bright soul in the dim past discovered that a weighted stick could be spun and if fibers were attached to it they would twist into thread or yarn. This device is called a drop spindle. The twist, by the way, is what holds the short fibers (from ½ to 3 inches long) together so they stick firmly to one another and do not come apart.
