HI Sarge,
La conocchia o rocca è uno strumento che in coppia col [1]fuso serve a
[2]filare.
I'm not really up on "spinning " terminology but apparently the fuso is
the spindle and the rocca is the distaff?
There are some wonderful early renaissance paintings of ladies spinning
even at court.

Anybody know what "la rocha il fuso" *means*? Just curious.
