Rock me mama like a spinning wheel…..

cropped-dsc_0056.jpgI continue to enjoy wonderful wheel upgrades.   First, I had the Tilly contraption; built by my Dear Husband using old bicycle parts and a music stand.  Then came the Ashford Kiwi, which was actually very nice to spin on, but not at all a joy to behold.   It was made of composite wood and was functional but not decorative.  Now, thanks to a keen and watchful eye, I am spinning on a lovely Frank Herring wheel straight from England!  The wheel is kinda art deco and not the standard pioneer type I’ve seen at most guild meetings, still, it was a wonderful steal and a dream to spin on.

    1. I will post pictures soon. I just gifted myself a new Nikon D5100. I am daring to take the settings off Auto and shooting anything (one) that stands still. My spinning wheel is my list 🙂

  1. Oooh! I know this post is from several months ago, but being a spinner, I just had to comment and say I’m pea green with envy over your beautiful wheel. I have a Lendrum which, like the Ashford, spins very well… but is not a joy to behold. Hope you’re still having fun on this!

    1. Thank you Curvylou!
      It hasn’t seen much action lately, but the Texas weather is cooling down and spinning seems like a great way to welcome the Fall.
