The carded wool can be spun into yarn in different ways by using different means. It can be spun by using hand-driven spinning wheel, foot and hand-driven spinning wheel, hanging spindle and bowl resting and resolving spindle process is very old. Such traditional (Tibetan rugs and carpets) methods, used by Nepalese people for centuries, now prevail only in the remote areas. The other two processes, hand-driven spinning wheel and foot and hand-driven spinning wheel processes, are very common amongst the spinners. Although new, introduced in Nepal only in 1984, the foot and hand-driven spinning wheel, originally made in New Zealand by Ashford Company, has been very successful in producing the quality yarn desired by the carpet industries. The Tibetan refugees brought the hand-driven spinning wheel technique into Nepal in 1961.

The spinning is a process, which draws and twists the wool fiber and converts it into yarn of desired thickness. If the number of twists per unit area is higher, then there may be problem in dyeing. Likewise, the evenness of the yarn thickness plays an important role in the textured surface of the spinners is very careful and gives maximum consideration in this regard.
