ahhh, Joy

So that thing that was winging it's way here, she arrived...


And I love her...


I had never used a spinning wheel before...


But I could really get used to this...


I bought my Ashford "Joy" from The Woolery. The price was right, the carrying case was cheaper than anywhere else and I got free shipping, a free niddy-noddy, free maintainance kit and free book. Really, though, she had me at hello :)

My first wheel was a Joy. I loved that wheel, and would still have it if my friend didn't buy the Joy from me. :D

It treadles with almost no effort, it spins well, and it packs up and goes anywhere.

Congratulations on your new wheel and the lovely new obsession (ah-hem) yarn! Puts my first handspun to shame.

Thanks, too, for the well-wishes for Marie.
