Can you tell me how a traditional spinning wheel spins cotton into thread and how the wooden spindle on top works?

I grew up in the countryside and I have spun yarn on a traditional old spinning wheel. The old spinning wheel had a big wheel about one meter in diameter, and the wooden spindle was spun by a shoestring, and the shaft groove of the wooden spindle was only about seven or eight millimeters, so for one revolution of the big wheel, the wooden spindle had to make more than a hundred revolutions. To the seed of cotton, first flicked loose, rolled into a thumb-like thickness of the cotton strip, the cotton strip on the end of the tip of the fibers glued to the tip of the wooden spindle, and then shaking the spinning wheel, shake the side of the cotton fibers out of the cotton strip, high-speed rotation of the wooden spindle cotton fibers twisted and twisted into a cotton yarn. It's hard to see now. Wish you happy.
