The spinning wheel was in use in Europe in the 14th century [1]. That's a lot earlier than "slightly before" the 1800s. [1] https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipe

- bluGill 9mo agoHistory is long - I'd call 14th century slightly before. The end of the medieval period does reach the 14th century, but most of the time period we are talking about didn't have it, and the culture effects of it would (as always) take longer to settle out.
