I have been thinking about getting a spinning wheel for about a year now. I read all about the different kinds and thought long and hard about what kind would suit my needs and my budget. When I went to the US during the summer, I planned to buy one while I was there but decided to wait a little longer. I got really into drop spindling when I got back and then really regretted not getting it while I had the chance! I enjoy drop spindling but it is very slow. So, I took the plunge and my Joy double treadle arrived on Tuesday.

In other news, Clare very kindly gave me a set of beautiful sock needles and pattern she got as part of the Sock Club she’s participating in. Everybody else seems to prefer Magic Loop for socks but to you guys I say, look what you’re missing!
The yarn is Austermann Steps which has aloe vera and jojoba oil spun into it, no less. It is heavenly to knit with. Thanks again, Clare! I love!
That is some fine looking fiber!! Spinning party at your place?
congrats on the wheel! 🙂
Yay! Welcome in the spinners’ club!
Need a photo of the wheel. And I still stick by my magic loop. 😛
