Note
One spelling does double duty: spun is both the plain past and the participle after have or be (it had spun, the wool was spun). Because spin works both ways, the same form serves a thing that turns and a person who turns it: the car spun, the driver spun the car. The passive suits the craft and figurative uses: yarn is spun from fiber, and news can be spun to look favorable.
