Since some of you - @auressea​ & @wikdsushi-v2​ especially - in the tags showed your interest in that particular hand spin, here it is:

It’s called liñareand as you can see its a stick with a diamond shaped piece on one end where flax was put and then secured with a kind of little hat made of fabric called goru-txapel.

The spindle can be seen perfectly in this pic above.
