Spinning Wheels, mine and others'

Went to Simrishamn yesterday to pick up the spinning wheel that I bought during my visit. Daiva and her family were kind and brought the wheel when they came shearing the alpacas a month ago.

Daiva, the dear, even sent along her favourit hook : )))))

a tiny antique spinning wheel with a lead rim! Think it was used for embroydery yarn. The hooks are tiny and closely set and the bobbin tiny too, a fair bit of rust and grime, but with some TLC it will be up an running soon I hope.

I am soo proud of the Ekelund Carder to be able to card the result is like this despite different staple lengths oh so sweet

Finally, the tiny spinning wheel got some more bobbins. Bought a really old kate with three bobbins this summer. When I started to rework them I found out they were really badly infested by worms. However managed to get two bobbins out of the three :-) Now the Bach is happy as can be, and me too.
