Louet 55?
very basic. couldnt afford better but it does the job. ive never spun flax...most complex ive spun is rabbit angora (i used to raise them) and fine cotton.

if you and absy are going for a walk, stop on by.

The only thing with flax is keeping it wetted. It spins better that way.

Let me know if you ever want anything better than that. i've got connections. *wink wink nudge nudge*

When i come down in March (*keeping fingers crossed that i get to*) i'll bring my wheels if you want me to, so you can play with them. Maybe a lap loom if you want to learn some quickie basic weaving stuff too.

Dont' have to be rich and famous. Check out this site... http://homepages.together.net/~kbruce/kbbloom.html
i got a floor loom with a 27" weaving width that had been used twice for something like $400. It needs squared, but that's ok, cause i take the legs off and shlep it around everywhere for demonstrations and stuff anyway. It would be knocked off again. And it's a Schacht... one of the better brands out there.

i can do that! i'll see if i can get some more strick and another rod, one that will attach to your wheel.

Dang I wish I could be there. that just sounds amazing to watch. I have a cousin that raised her own rabbits and sheep and vegetables for dyes.

Watching her spin and weave was hypnotic as the wheel spins and the shuttle flies back and forth.

ah sigh.

No problem.

That's the best link for used stuff. There are a couple of others, but that's the one i've had most luck with. You have to keep checking with it, though. Stuff goes FAST.

You could learn, you know. One of the best, most experienced fiber workers i know is a man. He's been working with fibers since WELL before i was born.

I've caught my friends watching my fingers when I crochet, and the little spiderman does it, too. Almost like they're hypnotized, or something.
