Another Fiberholic spinner! On top of that, possibly being able to buy fiber at the Loopy Ewe! Awesome!

I agree with martha tha Ashford makes a great basic wheel at a reasonable cost…of course, being able to purchase wholesale helps! And YES! There will be another beautiful reproduction wheel in your life one day….and weaving and dying and who knows? Maybe you’ll even go to a sheep ranch for a weekend of lambing or shearing….fiber does funny things to my brain. There’s fiber stash, and then there’s 6 spindles, 2 wheels, 3 looms, an antique weasel, niddy noddies, nostepindes….sigh…it just goes on and on……..for fiber, I love my shepherdess in Idaho….if you get the serious bug, you can reserve one of her yummy yummy fleeces for February shearing!

Same mess as the rest of us! Haa, haaa …. that’s why we’re pushers!!

Seriously, try wheels, try wheels, try wheels. You’ll get opinions on them all. But until you actually sit down and use it, you won’t know “your” wheel! I had done my research before I went to a spinning and dyeing workshop last year at the John C. Campbell Folk School. I knew what I wanted. And totally did NOT like what I wanted once I was actually sitting in front of it and spinning. I ended up with an Ashford Traveler and I love it. And I know folks who absolutely love the wheel I thought I wanted. Try them on!!

I could gift you with the $$ early so that you can start shopping for a wheel……

and, it reminds me of an old song by the Spencer Davis Group. It goes something like this: “Gimme some Roving, Gimme some Roving, gimme gimme some Roving everyday”! Stock up Miss Sheri!

I was there. There was no arm-twisting. There was a definite atmosphere of spinning lust!

I agree with Janice’s #3—-Loopy House has LOTS of space now! But if that isn’t enough , buy a folding wheel and, heck, you don’t need space for the roving. Stuff all your duvets with roving —- what you save on nighttime heating bills will more than pay for your new passion!

THE LOOPY EWE SELLING ROVING! THE LOOPY EWE SELLING FLEECE! THE LOOPY EWE SELLING MOHAIR LOCKS! You heard it here first,folks!

Too funny Sheri. I love sitting with a spinner and knitting. The methodic whoosh whoosh is so soothing. Enjoy!

I think roving would sell for all the reasons listed before me. Heck you can even get it in some discount stores now.
