BYC Spinning Fiber

It's a Canadian production style wheel with the mother-of-all that tilts for adjusting tension. It is missing the flyer and bobbin ... pretty major pieces for a wheel.

K. Happened upon it in a flea market. Sounds like too much work.

 

[MullersLaneFarm]

What were they asking for it??

 

[buffbeauty]

Well $250. But the lady that told me it was there said its been there a LONG time and they'd probably take less.

 

[MullersLaneFarm]

$250

Some folks are real proud of their items


I wouldn't give her more than $50 and explain I would have to spend almost $200 to get it in working order ... that is only if the drive wheel run straight and true, otherwise it isn't worth a dime.

 

[buffbeauty]

Yep. I'm out on that one for sure!!

Have you ever checked out Ravelry ? There are usually a lot of wheels for sale there.

Just saw a Louet go on sale for $350. I'm not a Louet fan, but those that have them really, really love them.

 

[buffbeauty]

Nope. But I will!

I have a quick question, I have a rabbit that has the angora wool, he is not an angora I think the breed is called an american fuzzy lop. I dont know how to process the fiber from him or know anyone else who uses it but I dont really want to just throw it away. Will some people take wool from bunnies like him?
