My Teal Wheel

I love it! I love it! I love it! I think it looks wonderful, if I do say so myself. It's a dream to spin on. I love the double treadles. I can now start and stop the wheel with my feet instead of sticking my fingers in the spokes. I can't wait to show it off at the Thursday Spinners group.


This is the side if the spinning wheel I face when I'm spinning.


Another view off to the side.


This is the other side of the wheel.

I've asked a fellow in Manitoba to make me an unfinished yarn bowl out of wood so I can stain and paint it to match my Ashford Traveller aka Teal Wheel. He said he'll give me a price in a couple of days.

Just think what it could have looked like if I knew how to paint.

It is a thing of beauty and I am glad you have it done. Have you ever made
stuff with natural dye. It is all the rage here where people have their own
sheep. They charge the earth for it too.

I have a couple of paper lunch bags that are stuffed full of yellow and red onion skins. I think I'll boil them up and give it a try this summer. It's an all day project to dye just 1 pound of wool but I only charge the moon.

It's beautiful. Is that the Canadian poppy?

Thanks. I doubt it. Canadian poppies are always red but they do have the same shape.

Thanks Jeremy. When are we going to see some more pictures of your little girl? I'll bet she's growing like weed.

Can't say it looks like fun, but hey! Whatever works!

Firewood chopping is exactly what I was thinking when I said that!

It's considerably more fun than chopping firewood.
