I had it for a few years and it worked fine, but I don't like traditional turned wood.<BR/><BR/>I was able to rent two different Louets from Spinners Flock guild, one for a month and one the next month... and I always adored the Louet with the disk/off-center hole style (S10). I just love how it looks.<BR/><BR/>So... a friend wanted my Ashford "if I ever gave it up." And another friend had an S10 he didn't need, and needed cash more. So I saved a little money, sold my Ashford to my friend, and gave 2nd friend the saved money plus the proceeds from the first wheel.<BR/><BR/>I have one wheel. I don't spin much, but it's my one fiber-related skill that I do only for me, not for work. My house is small and one wheel is enough, given how little I use it.<BR/><BR/>My wheel likes making fat yarn, and I like spinning fat yarn, and so we are well suited. I think things worked out perfectly for my needs.<BR/><BR/>May you enjoy your wheel as much as possible! I think it's such a relaxing thing to do!!!ColorJoy LynnHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03238476918178854398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365471112399145747.post-56351779536053691612009-03-17T16:55:00.000-05:002009-03-17T16:55:00.000-05:00Congratulations Vicki,I'm so excited for you.
