I learned about this today

Spinning wheels, a technological advancement for making yarn from fibers, date back to approximately 500-1000AD, likely originating in India. While hand spinning with a spindle and distaff is an ancient craft predating written history, the spinning wheel was a significant innovation in yarn production.​
