Spinning wheel

Japanese: 紡車 - ぼうしゃ

Also known as "spinning wheel" or "spinning wheel." A spinning device equipped with a large wheel that rotates a spindle. Though said to have originated in India, the Jersey spinning wheel used in Europe around the 14th century involved spinning the wheel with one hand and stretching and twisting the yarn with the other, alternating between spinning and winding. The Saxony spinning wheel, invented in the 16th century, rotates the wheel by stepping on the foot, and has an arm (flyer) attached to the spindle that guides the bobbin and yarn, allowing twisting and winding to be done simultaneously, greatly improving spinning efficiency. →Spindle wheel→Related topic: Spinning

〈つむぎぐるま〉〈つむぐるま〉とも。スピンドル（錘）を回転させる大きな車を備えた紡績装置。インド起源といわれるが，14世紀ごろ欧州で使われたジャージー紡車は，片手で車を回し他の手で糸を延伸，加撚し，紡績と巻取を交互に行った。16世紀に発明されたサクソニー紡車は，足踏みで車を回転させ，スピンドルにはボビンと糸を導く腕（フライヤー）を取り付け，加撚と巻取がこれによって同時に行われ，紡績能率を大いに向上させた。→紡錘車
