A kiwi spinning wheel! I soon realized that wood finishing is not for me. I do not have the patience or the talent. I think the extra money spent on a finished wheel is definitely worth it now..
I bought the wheel on eBay from Copper Moose, and they sent a pound of Corriedale fiber to practice on.
And this is the first skein I made from it. It ended up about 38 yards and is double-plied.
All skeined up..
I am definitely a newb. I've bought two books so far: Start Spinning and Intertwined. I look forward to getting good at the regular stuff so I can make the fancy art stuff. I know I need a lot of practice.
Also since I haven't been around for a long time here is a treat: Muse at the Fort Worth Convention Center last week. It was my third time seeing them and they get better every time!
