It's small and is a double treadle. If you have any spinning friends get them to show you or else internet and books are good. There's a book out that excellent: something about learnign to spin visually. I have it, but forget the exact title. Once you get the hang of it, spinning is so fun and relaxing. Plus roving is cheaper than yarn. Fiber festivals are good places meet up with spinners and see different wheels. It really is inevitable once the idea of buying a wheel gets in your head.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443300355315157565.post-73756575118655611302007-07-26T13:57:00.000-07:002007-07-26T13:57:00.000-07:00I got the cheapest wheel I could find!

Make sure the bobbin is big enough- I've seen some ashfords with bobbins that couldn't hold more than 80 yards of bulky! And googling, lots of googling for good spinning advice.Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05992489367792132224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443300355315157565.post-74260307859868526262007-07-26T06:01:00.000-07:002007-07-26T06:01:00.000-07:00I had a feeling you'd redo the grafting.

With the regular flyer, the fast flyer and the bulky flyer, it covers a huge range of ratios. While I think it helps to have someone show you things when learning to spin, there are plenty of people who have taught themselves. With a book or two and u-tube, you'll be fine.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07583024164286542774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443300355315157565.post-40435384702211782622007-07-25T17:52:00.000-07:002007-07-25T17:52:00.000-07:00Grecian pleats is looking really good.

(Just kidding!) Anyway-come to find it's called a messenger bag-that's been the problem all along-not really.<BR/><BR/>I'll be interested to know about the spinning comments.
