  1. We have a spinning wheel at home. It is a very old one because it belonged to my grandfather who is dead about 40 years. The wheel is on a three legged stool and on the wheel there is a little thing for the thread when it is spun. I asked my mother was there a name for the legs of the stool. She said no.
