Happiness is a new spinning wheel

Posted by Vintage Purls on January 24, 2007, 1:43 am

Well, okay an "almost new" spinning wheel. I managed to buy an ex demo
Ashford double-drive traditional wheel for a song on Trademe (our local
equivalent of eBay). It arrived today and was quickly assembled. My old
wheel was over 30 years in age and rather clunky. The new one runs
beautifully smooth and a looks lovely to boot. The kittens are very
happy with the paper packing - so a household of happiness is ours. :)

That is soooo neat. I would love to learn how to spin.

Though, I guess I'd have to find some place for the spinning wheel...
I'm not sure my roommate would put up with that in our 9x10 room... haha.
