CHAPTER 144: CHAPTER 129: SPINNING MACHINE (5K)

These linen robes are naturally prepared for the villagers in the territory.

The textile workshop, like the blacksmith workshop, also has many divisions.

The raw material storage area, used for storing raw materials, linen, wool, cotton, and so on.

The cleaning area, which is the processing area for raw materials.

Using a cleaner, the raw materials undergo preliminary cleaning and processing.

The spinning area, where the preliminarily processed fibers are spun into yarn.

The weaving area, where the spun yarns are woven into fabric.

The dyeing and printing area, where fabrics undergo dyeing and printing treatment.

The finishing area, where the final processing is done, such as cutting, hemming, and ironing to make the fabric more flat and smooth.

And finally, the storage area and so on.

Although the textile workshop has been completed, it lacks the most crucial items—the spinning wheel and the loom!

The textile workshop where Lynn’s mother works is still using the most primitive hand spinning wheel.

The structure of the hand spinning wheel is relatively simple, consisting of only a spinning wheel, a spindle, and a stand.

It requires hand or foot operation to drive it.

Because it only has one spindle, it can only spin one yarn at a time, the production speed is slow, and it can’t meet the demands of large-scale production on the territory in the future.

Lynn knew.

He must improve the hand spinning wheel.

Lynn called for Colin.

Colin bent his body, speaking respectfully, "Master Lynn."

Lynn nodded and said, "I need to make four spinning wheels!"

Four textile workshops, each needing spinning wheels and looms and so on.

"Spinning wheel?"

Colin’s eyes scanned the textile workshop, and he immediately understood.

Colin said somewhat helplessly, "Master Lynn, you mean a hand spinning wheel? I can indeed do that!"

The hand spinning wheel is very common.

Due to its simple and singular construction, almost every free people’s home has one.

It is used to spin linen fibers from the harvested linen plants into linen yarn.

Lynn shook his head, saying, "I need a spinning wheel with higher weaving efficiency than the hand spinning wheel."

Colin was taken aback.

Is there such a spinning wheel?

Lynn led Colin to his woodworker workshop.

Arriving at the workbench, Lynn picked up an iron saw and began to saw a log.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The deep, trembling sound of the saw blade continually echoed in the woodworker workshop.

[Production Experience +1]

[Production Experience +1]

...

Little by little, experience was accumulating.

Some unfamiliar memories surfaced in Lynn’s mind, beginning to integrate quickly.

Beside him, Colin and a few apprentices watched this scene with puzzlement.

Soon enough.

The knowledge on how to make a spinning wheel fully merged in Lynn’s mind.

Lynn’s movements became increasingly swift and proficient.

The spinning wheel Lynn prepared to make was called the Saxon spinning wheel.

Compared to the common hand spinning wheel, the Saxon spinning wheel has a larger drive wheel with a diameter reaching ninety centimeters.

It can provide better power during spinning.

The spinning efficiency of the Saxon spinning wheel far surpasses that of the hand spinning wheel!

Due to the greater power, the Saxon spinning wheel can spin more yarn in the same amount of time, several times that of the hand spinning wheel.

Moreover, the yarn quality spun by the Saxon spinning wheel is better, with more even threads, making it more suited for large-scale textile production!

Only such a Saxon spinning wheel can support the future large-scale spinning and weaving on the territory!

With a move of his hand, Lynn picked up a piece of oak and began crafting the spinning wheel for the Saxon spinning wheel.

The spinning wheel is the core component of the Saxon spinning wheel, used for spinning and stretching the yarn.

Because it’s made of oak, Lynn needed to use fire to bend and reshape each oak strip, followed by binding and fixing it.

This would allow the oak to retain its bent shape.

The spinning wheel can be made of wood or iron.

As this was just a demonstration for Colin and the others, using oak would be more efficient.

Once the spinning wheel was finished and waiting for the oak to cool and reshape,

Lynn continued crafting other parts.

The base of the frame, pillars, and crossbars, among other components.

Only by crafting and assembling these parts perfectly could the spinning wheel be supported!

Before they knew it, it was afternoon.

The various parts of the spinning wheel were placed on the workbench beside Lynn.

Due to the long hours of labor and the oppressive heat, Lynn’s cheeks and back were already soaked with sweat.

Despite Colin having called over two carpenter apprentices to fan Lynn, it was still to no avail.

The summer heat persisted.

Lynn didn’t stop and continued crafting the spindles.

The spindle is the part used for winding the yarn, driven by the spinning wheel to rotate, thereby winding strands of yarn around the spindle.

Then, it was time to install the transmission of the Saxon spinning wheel.

Due to the lack of leather belts at that moment, Lynn had to temporarily use ropes as a substitute.

The installation of the transmission required ensuring the proper tension of the rope to guarantee the normal operation of the spinning wheel.

Unconsciously.

A Saxon spinning wheel was completed and placed before Colin and the others.

With a flick of his hand, Lynn turned the spinning wheel, beginning the final calibration test.

The main goal was to ensure that the spinning wheel’s rotation was smooth and the spindle could work normally and steadily.

After a while.

Lynn finally stopped.

The creation of the Saxon spinning wheel, compared to the hand spinning wheel, was naturally much harder and more complex.

If it weren’t for the knowledge Lynn had liver out, fused and comprehended,

even if someone explained it to him in detail right before his eyes, he might not have been able to make it.
