HomeToday, amidst squawks from Boo, I was able to do some concrete research on spinning wheels. I’ve ruled out Saxony wheels also referred to as “Cinderella” wheels. I don’t have the floor space for it and right now I can’t rule out portability of a wheel. I’m leaning toward a double treadle, double drive castle wheel. I admit I still do not know which one is “the one,” but I have determined which ones are ideal from each company listed and after this research I’m ever so much closer.
- Ashford: Traveller Double Treadle Double Drive and then the Joy
- Fricke: there’s only the S-160 DT that’s I’m looking at but I’m not sold on it.
- Kromski: Minstrel, Sonata then Mazurka
- Louet: I didn’t find any that jumped off the page at me.
- Majacraft: Rose, Suzie, then Millie
- Schacht: I would prefer a Matchless DT over the Ladybug
I found a knitting, weaving, spinning, and something else store about a half hour from where I live. I plan to visit on Tuesday with my research to come to a decision on what I want. I probably won’t purchase one for a little while, the hospital bill for my stay with Boo arrived today, a bit more than I expected but well worth it.
Next spinning post will compare across the companies for the ones I would really like to have.
