Tool for making yarn by hand (7)

I believe the answer is:

spindle

(Other definitions for spindle that I've seen before include "Pin bearing a bobbin" , "Rod on which something turns" , "Stick or pin used to twist yarn in spinning" , "Rod on which something rotates" , "Rotating shaft" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
