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