Ashford Joy spinning wheel
Hello Norma.....the picture Martin posted for you is a traveling an
Ashfort Joy wheel made by Ashfort in New zealand. You can fold it so you can take it with you in the car or when you traveling by bus plane or train. It is an upright wheel with a single treadle and I would think that it is flyer driven, but I am not totally sure of that. where did I get all this info, Well first of all I have seen this wheel before at one of our spinning meetings. Just now I looked it up in an old Spin Off magazine from the Interweave press. Els -- I have added a trap for spammers......niet..... |

LOL - ok, this is just to laugh at myself for madly responding to posts before reading the entire newsgroup. ::snerk:: But hey, usually there are are a bunch of 'em, y'know? At least I did guess correctly that it was a traveling wheel. g Thanks for the info, Els; now my 'satiable curiosity is satisfied. (shoulda known it was an Ashford - don't they make everything? hee.)

Thanks Els. I don't know anything about spinning, although I did see a lady
once with what I thought was a miniature spinning wheel at a show once. I was told that *it* was a travelling wheel. I have never seen a wheel like the one in the picture, it's nice to know a bit about it. -- Star love, Norma "Els van Dam" wrote in message ...

Thanks Ria. I can see that they are the same. (and that is a much better
picture of it than the newspaper one.) -- Star love, Norma "Ria Van de Velde" wrote in message ...
