SQUEEEEEEEE!

Seriously! I'm so excited by my new toy!

Here it is!

It's an Ashford Traditional spinning wheel. Now I know little else besides that it's something I really want to master! I love the idea of being able to spin some fibre into gorgeous handspun! I'll have to go and find all the spinning books at the library as soon as the crazy Christmas season is over.

Now all we need is a sheep (I think a wee sheep in the backyard would get on beautifully with the dogs, cats and kids! Can you get dwarf sheep though...)

The spinning wheel originally belonged to someone at Brooklynne's embroidery guild and Brooklynne was given the job of rehoming it! Lucky me. On collection she also gifted me some lovely fibre to start with.
