I got a rigid heddle last Christmas from Twistfibrecraft.

I'm ashamed to say I haven't used it much, but it's not as if it will go rusty or anything, so it's an investment. Very Happy

Just been a bit busy.....

It's a Kiwi.
I looked for ages, borrowed the Guild wheel to learn on and then went to TFC to try theirs out.... I really fancied a louet, I love the design, but couldn't justify the cost, so I got a Kiwi and "adjusted" it!

I'm very happy with it, and I even used it with a broken ankle this summer!

That's really nice the way you've customised it Cool

I think terri will be interested in seeing that as it's a kiwi she's thinking of getting Very Happy

Do you ever go up for the knitting group or the spinning group Natalie?

That looks lovely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm thinking of getting either the kiwi, or the ashford traditional Confused

If I can't get away with either I shan't be buying one Shocked

Its hard to visualise how big they are tbh cos I've never seen a wheel irl Confused

They're about 3' high and about 1.5' across. I am sure you will like one of them but you can always have a go at my Lendrum and Peter can get one for you or you can get it direct from P & M Woolcraft.
