Hand spinning is an activity in which fibres are twisted to produce yarns that are woven to make a cloth using different types of tools like Charkha. It produces spun yarn for weaving. It is considered as one of the oldest crafts that is found around the world in some or the other form, using different tools and methods. Hand spinning is an environment friendly activity that does not need electricity or any another to operate and also its tools are very easy to make and maintain. Spinning is not only an art of making yarn but it is also a source of living in the rural lives. It is going to be our lost heritage which is the oldest form of craft that marked its beginning for the sake of covering one’s body, after the primitive ways of using leaves and animal fibres. Later it was found convenient to spin and then weave the fibres to form into cloth and cover them.
