Her name is Thecla: partly because of
the Acts of Paul and Thecla which is one of my favourite pieces of literature I've ever worked on (and to which I hope to return someday, perhaps to study medieval reception of the legend); and also partly because that's sort of the sound she makes as she's spinning. THEC-luh, THEC-luh, THEC-luh. Love it <3
'Thecla' - a very suitable name indeed. Could even be Icelandic.

I actually went through a few Icelandic names first, you know :)
