The closed Lonaconing Silk Mill twisted and wound raw silk into yarn (throwing process), where it was then sent to silk manufacturers to be woven by knitters and weavers into various textiles. The building is full of silk spindles, peeling paint, rusty machines, and broken windows. Print size 8x10 inches.
It seems my precious spindle can be loaded with a lot of yarn even if the shaft is short (not too short for my very small hand)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spindle_(shrub)
The spindles, genus Euonymus, comprise about 170-180 species of deciduous and evergreen shrubs and small trees. They live mostly in East Asia, including the Himalayas,[1] and they also have a distribution in Europe, Asia, Australasia, North America and Madagascar.
Mature Spindle fruit, after splitting open to reveal the seeds
The flowers are situated in small groups, inconspicuous and of green or yellow shades.[1] The leaves are opposite (rarely alternate) and simple ovoid, typically 2-15 cm long, and usually with a finely serrated margin.
The fruit is a pink-red four- or five- valved pod-like berry, which splits open to reveal the fleshy-coated orange seeds. The seeds are eaten by frugivorous birds, which digest the fleshy seed coat and disperse the seeds in their droppings. All parts of the plants are poisonous to humans if eaten.The wood was traditionally used for the making of spindles for spinning wool; this use is the origin of the English name of the shrubs.
Spindles are popular garden shrubs, grown for their foliage, the deciduous species often exhibiting very bright red fall colours, and also for the decorative berries
