That said, already I'm thinking that a Majacraft Rose would be the next step, but we are limited in space. <BR/><BR/>To my dismay I haven't yet achieved consistency on the wheel that I get with my spindles. :-( The speed is wonderful but my spindles are so much more personal. And I love that I can spin almost anywhere with them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5027612287824822363.post-42172870123890098822008-01-15T22:08:00.000-06:002008-01-15T22:08:00.000-06:00Come and see me and try out wheels.My first though...Come and see me and try out wheels.<BR/><BR/>My first thought for you is Ashford Traveller. Easy to grow into. Will last a long time and has plenty of upgrades when you are ready to move to more yarns on each end of the spectrum.<BR/><BR/>But it's important to try wheels if you can before you buy.<BR/><BR/>Just my 4.5 centsBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05036515282312483771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5027612287824822363.post-37292632541467641742008-01-15T18:38:00.000-06:002008-01-15T18:38:00.000-06:00Check out my 1/15 post.

I find that I am learning a lot from the spindling. Hopefully that will improve my wheel spinning too. I have a Lendrum. I would have liked a less modern looking wheel, but it is a wonderful wheel, one that is good for a beginner and you can really grow with. Not cheap unfortunately. I looked at the Louet S75s and really liked them because of the style. The Lendrum is ultra sturdy and made from hardwood maple. I think Carissa has an Ashford Traveller which is more traditional looking. I would not get the Ashford Traditional because it is not best with kids (that was my first wheel) because it is more tippy and sticks out and in the way. Naturally if you ask ten people you will get ten different answers! :o)Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14823569540636658598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5027612287824822363.post-27096137653919224502008-01-14T07:36:00.000-06:002008-01-14T07:36:00.000-06:00Your yarn is just beautiful.

Take the time to find a wheel you love and, if you can't afford it, buy another spindle and wait patiently until the funds become available. <BR/><BR/>Wood is key to spinning. <BR/><BR/>: )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5027612287824822363.post-67325320049531578292008-01-14T05:36:00.000-06:002008-01-14T05:36:00.000-06:00Your knitting is beautiful... you are so talented!...Your knitting is beautiful... you are so talented!
