Spinning cotton seems hard enough, but to see you spinning such a consistent yarn - with such a long draw - seems pure magic to me! You are truly an amazing young woman. Also, the fact that you restored this wheel yourself in impressive as well. Keep up the good work, you have made this old lady's day!

    I love your wheel. I recently got a walking wheel that needs some work so I haven't started spinning with it, but this looks like it would need less space and you wouldn't spend as much time walking back and forth.

    • @heavenlyknitchet
      @heavenlyknitchet  3 года назад +1

      This wheel would require more space due to the swing arm. I like being able to sit and have the singles drawing away. It’s fun! I have a walking wheel, too. They are nice.

  • @christinapalafox3662
    @christinapalafox3662 3 года назад +2

    Thanks for sharing. I have often wondered how this wheel worked. I have a great wheel and have really enjoyed using it. Looking at this, I do not see why this wheel would be considered an improvement over the great wheel. In fact, it looks more cumbersome to use. But interesting, none the less. Thanks.

    • @heavenlyknitchet
      @heavenlyknitchet  3 года назад +1

      This certainly wouldn't be a wheel for everyone as the necessary coordination would be troublesome for many and even intimidating. It would take most people a lot of time getting used to it. However, if the spinner has/develops good coordination with foot and hand, a great understanding of fiber lengths, and great comfort with long draw, then it would be a lot of fun and quite efficient. It is a matter of a preference as well. I personally like my spinning experience on this pendulum wheel much more than my great wheel, and I have spun on my great wheel much longer. I am having more fun with it, and have only used this 5 times since the restoration and I am hooked.
