I got a wheel Smile

I've been thinking it over for a long while, but then several things came together at once, so I jumped Shocked

It's a second hand Ashford Traveller, but a fairly recent one. DH is quite keen to tweak it and make sure everything runs just so, though I've been playing a little bit already Smile

I love handspun and it'll be worth the wait (no matter how long it takes) I think people who learn to spin get so sucked in it takes over....you ask CJ!!

Ah now, you see we have CJ to blame for my starting out on spinning. I bought a drop spindle that she was selling, and although that wasn't the spindle that eventually "hooked" me, it was the one that gave me my first taster Smile
