The idea, he later said, came to him during his 1909 trip to London ”as in a flash.” He didn't even know the difference between a spinning wheel and a handloom. In Hind Swaraj Hind Swaraj, written on his 1909 voyage back to South Africa, he writes of ”ancient and sacred handlooms” when, so it seems, he's thinking of the charkha. See an extended footnote on this point by Anthony J. Parel in his edition of Hind Swaraj Hind Swaraj, p. 230. Narayan Desai makes the same point in the first volume of My Life Is My Message My Life Is My Message, p. 459.
