Question
Hi Maria,

your help would be much appreciated
thank you so much

Answer
Hello,

“I will spin the thread” in the meaning of ‘to make thread by twisting fibres' can be translated into Latin in three different ways, each one of them has the same meaning:

-“ Stamina ducam”

-“Fila pollice torquebo”

-“Lanam faciam”

If on the contrary this phrase has a figurative sense, please let me know it.

Best regards
Maria
