Default Turning (and holding) a small wheel?

I want to make a sumitsubo (Japanese marking-out ink line)
http://www.japanwoodworker.com/product.asp?s=JapanWoodworker&mimid=EG9RKBNFBSAA9H 6QAC284FGXLH687AC6&pf_id=01.656.150&dept_id=12999

One component is the wheel, used as a reel to store the line

Any advice on how to turn such a beast? Particularly for the best way
for a novice to hold it and the sequence of operations to turn it. I'm
planning on using offcuts of some lovely burr elm I was working today.

Thanks for any advice.
