Commentary for Moed Katan 37:5

אמר רב יהודה אמר שמואל וכן א"ר חייא בר אבא א"ר יוחנן הלכה בין באבן בין בפלך והלכה כותב כדרכו ומוכר כדי פרנסתו:

Our Rabbis taught: A person [may] spin on his thigh the blue [thread] for his fringe, but [may] not do so with a stone [as a spindle-whorl]: that R'Eliezer's view; but the Sages say [he may] even with a stone. R'Judah says in his [R'Eliezer's] name: [He may] with a stone, but not with a spindle; but the Sages say, [He may] either with stone or with spindle.
