Treadle spinning wheel on sale at a rug weaving shop. Kwazulu Natal, South Africa.
The treadle spinning wheel is powered by the spinner's foot which turns the drive wheel via a crankshaft and a connecting rod. This leaves both hands free for drafting the fibres while a flyer and bobbin system twists and spools the yarn.
