rolling
Twisting fibers by hand is considered one of the oldest and simplest methods of producing thread without the use of tools. The technique was primarily used for the production of cords, twines, and coarse yarns intended for weaving and other utilitarian purposes. Fibers were typically twisted by rolling them between the palms. In Slovakia, a collaborative variation of this technique was also practiced, where two people worked together in the process of palm rolling.
