    Spinning wheels……..

    I’ve purchase a spinning wheel, antique and I plan on using it. Can y’all find me some information to help me? I’m tired of the searches. I’m lazy and need to save my energy for the wheel!

          Tks, Bob. I've been working off my tablet and it does not expand searches like the PC does. Thanks for giving me a place to start.

          All helpful, I like the one with the drop spindle as this is how I started. They're all wool spinning, I'm going to graduate to cotton soon at this speed. Perhaps I'll send you something I've made! Do you want something or just the yarn? I've ordered some nice stuff........
