Textile craft:
thread
and cloth
To obtain threads, the Neolithic people
used the distaff and the spindle.
The wooden spindle is ballasted by a terracotta or stone « fusaļole » ; it receives
thread wound by its rotation with the spinners fingers.
The
stone « fusaļoles » are made up from a pebble which is worn out to obtain a
disc, then drilled in the centre by the rotation of a flint point.
