This spinning wheel was purchased, and owned by my mother, who was an amazing knitter. She decided to teach herself how to dye, card and spin wool, so that she could knit sweaters, sox, and baby shawls for the family. So, of course, she had to have the best spinning wheel. And this is truly a spectacular wheel. So compact and easy to use. If you are a first time or seasoned spinner/knitter/weaver and need wool, yarn accessories please look at my other sales. I will be listing a ton of yarn, wool, books, and accessories that were owned by my mother.I am happy to answer any questions you may have (to the best of my ability).The description of this wheel is as follows:
