Threads that are weaving and bobbing on the embroidery machine at Starr Uniform on Cedar Avenue in Scranton. Low fluorescent light, but a photographic opportunity nonetheless, especially with such beautiful colors.

What is a spindle? It is a rod or pin, tapered at one end and usually weighted at the other, on which fibers are spun by hand into thread and then wound; a pin or rod holding a bobbin or spool on which thread is wound on an automated spinning machine or spinning wheel; any of various mechanical parts that revolve or serve as axes for larger revolving parts, as in a lock, axle, phonograph turntable, or lathe; a spike on which papers may be impaled of perforated.
