Hey guys!
thought I'd start a thread about spinning and weaving. Spinning in particular as that's what's occupying my time here lately.
any spinners in the group?
Want to talk wheels, spindles, combs, drum carders, fibers?
maybe looms?
I just got a new wheel. an Ashford Traveler with jumbo flyer. It was on ebay and I needed it so hub got it for me.
It came with the jumbo flyer on it. I'd never used one before and am growing to like it a lot.
It holds a monster amount of yarn!
I had had a wheel just like it years ago but go hard up for bucks and had to sell it. I'd used drop spindles for a long time which I love actually as they are so dang portable, but I missed treadling the wheel. Something soothing about it isn't' there?
My cats love to sit and watch the wheel go 'round. LOL
anyhow, hope there are some spinners in the group and we can talk shop.
I found this image on the web for inspiration for us!
