You read the text and slowly understand how thread spinning works. The instructions show that to begin with you must take some raw fibers and put them on the distaff or spinning wheel. A distaff can only hold about 100 or so yards of fiber, but a spinning wheel can manage 500. If you ever need to remove the fiber, just pull the tool to remove it. If spinning has begun then this will DESTROY the fiber in the process. Once the fiber is on the distaff or spinning wheel, you can ADJUST the tool set how thick you want the thread to be. Thinner thread is harder to work with, but uses less fiber to make. Next you can SPIN the tool to start the process of pulling thread off and collecting it around the spindle. More spins will be required if more fiber is used, although having good agility and reflexes, and a potent tool can help reduce the time needed to spin. Note that several problems can arise during spinning and may require your intervention to fix. While it is always possible to ignore them and continue spinning, a reduction in the quality of your thread is likely. Mastercrafted thread is highly sought after, as it reduces the sewing time during tailoring. If ever in doubt, just ANALYZE the distaff or spinning wheel to learn more about what is taking place.
