Isn’t She Beautimous?

I came home last night to find that the husband has completely assembled my new spinning wheel.  It is actually my first ever spinning wheel, and I have to confess, I’m a little bit nervous about entering new territory.

Isn’t she pretty?

She is a Fricke S-160 double treadle.  And, I just happen to have this beautiful roving, it’s Blue Face Leicester and it’s very soft and creamy, on hand and waiting to be spun.

It’s going to be a fun weekend at my house!

  1. Wowie Zowie!! You are So way ahead of me!!! Can’t wait to hear all about it & see the magic……
    Big Congratulations on your new addition!

  2. How exciting to have your first spinning wheel. I have seen them at fairs and they look like you need a lot of patience. But they look like fun. I can’t wait to see your yarn you make with it.

    HAVE FUN! I remember my first wheel…those where some great days. Don’t be afraid to just go to town with no “goal” in mind. I think I made a felted something with my first yarn. My kids’ first yarn of course is kept in their baby books.
    Enjoy!
