New spinning wheels.
Yep, plural. First came the funky one off eBay, that I thought I could make a treadle easily for and be able to spin art yarn on. Haven't gotten to that, yet. Also need to make a tensioning knob. There's a hole below the flyer to put it in, just have to figure out how to make it.
Then I found a listing on Craig's List for a Great wheel in nearby Colrain at an affordable price. So of course I had to get it. I really don't know what I was thinking, the thing is huge! The wheel itself is 46" in diameter.

I have already spun a little yarn on it. Have to make some rolags, tho. Roving wasn't all that successful. So many projects, so little time!
