Why must all spinners envy me, do you ask? I will tell you why.
I just got a used (but in perfect condition)
Ashford Traditional spinning wheel. For $150. With two large bags of fiber. I don't know what's in the bag of white fiber, but the biggest bag holds quite a lot of what's either llama or alpaca hair.
The wheel is beautiful. Perfect. It has the walnut finish on it, and would have cost me over $500, new. I am in heaven, just looking at it.
Glee!
The only downside is that I turned my ankle a few days ago, so I can't use my pretty new wheel until it heals all the way. :(
