For other uses, see Klotho.
In Greek mythology, Clotho or Klotho, the Greek word Κλωθώ for "spinner", was the youngest of the Moirae (the Fates). It was Clotho who spun the threads of life with her distaff. According to Hesiod's Theogony, she and her sisters (Lachesis and Atropos) are the daughters of Night (by no one).
Her Roman equivalent was Nona (the 'Ninth'), who was originally a goddess called upon in the ninth month of pregnancy.[citation needed]
