untonuggan: a drop spindle and the products of my first week of spinning (7 balls of yarn in various colors) (spinning week 1)

For those of you wondering what, exactly, one does when spinning, here is the best UpGoerFive version I could come up with (that is, using the 10,000 most commonly used words). There are many details that are lacking, obviously, but I think it gets the basic idea across...

I put a piece of animal hair on a thing that turns. I turn the thing and the turning goes up the hair. The turn makes the hair smaller and stronger. When it stops turning, I put the animal hair around a stick on the thing that turns. I do this for a long time, until I have a very long piece of small and strong animal hair. Then I can call it finished, or I can make it more strong by turning two or more animal hairs together on the thing that turns. When I decide it is finished, I have to make it wet. If I don't, the turn can come out. I put the long, strong, animal hair in hot water with a thing that cleans it and make the water move around. Then I take it out and hit the animal hair against something. After it dries, I can use the turned animal hair to make clothes or other things.
