I'm in the same boat you are.. all the ones I like though are outrageously priced..I need a hand me down, or very very very cheap!!

People will let you play. I love my Louet. She's a great gal. I can spin DK weight and sock yarn without a problem on her. But again, you should try out different wheels. I went to a fiber festival and tried out wheels before making my purchase.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11499451.post-82566690572070349802007-02-24T08:06:00.000-05:002007-02-24T08:06:00.000-05:00I love my louet!

It is actually not MY wheel, but a loaner, but having said that, I'm going to buy a louet when I can. I have no desire to have a traditional type wheel. They seem to be too fiddly for my tasted, but I know people who love theirs. I think that going to a spinning meeting , or a fiber festival and seeing different wheels in action, is the best way to go.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545713753520362397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11499451.post-57227336825317122712007-02-22T18:41:00.000-05:002007-02-22T18:41:00.000-05:00Hey!

My husband actually wants to learn how to spin!! Lucky me!! :) Where do you take your classes for spinning? We have been looking around Atlanta for classes but haven't found anything yet.

When I look into buying another wheel - my money is on another Louet or the Ashford Joy.Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345829142268909884noreply@blogger.com
