from Gerry- I just bought the Ashford jumbo e-spinner. I have been spinning for 16 years but I find this to be challenging. So far I made a pretty good single. I can see more in my future. Now I am working on a core spun for the first time. I do like this because I can make the bobbin go very slow. I need practice on a regular spun yarn because the fiber was pulling out of my hand. Anyway, I am very excited for you and all the great things you have planned for this year. Looking forward to many videos. ( I make knitted, felted totes to use up my extra wool yarn.) Blessings.
Do you use the Ashford Spinning Wheel oil often? I use it at the begging, and during the spin on all parts that touche each other, especially where the bobbin sits. It really helps. Thanks for watching. All the best. ~Shiree
I managed to buy mine on ebay after looking for about 4 years. I bought already set up from a spinner who also processes fiber. I was very lucky that the lady lived a short drive from my mother so it was delivered there. I hope to buy a standalone lazy Kate so I can ply off of my spinolution pollywog bobbins.
No I have not made a comparison video. I have four different wheels, all with different purposes, Great Wheel, Ashfor Country Spinner, E-spinner, and Ashford Joy. My go to for the feel good fun is The Ashford Joy. Treddling along with drafting and the light whir of the wheel is heaven.

That's great. It's a blast to spin on isn't it? Thanks for watching. ~Shiree
Have you made a comparison video with your wheels? Do you prefer the E spinner?
