COLUS
With the Romans, a distaff, and was a thick cane with the end split in such a way that the opening formed a basket. When filled with wool it was variously termed Compta, Plena or Lana Amicta. The thread obtained from it was called Stamen. The ball of loose fibre at one end prepared for spinning was called Glomus. The lower end of this distaff rested under the left arm, the right hand spun and wound the thread on to the spindle, called Fusus (see Distaff)
