Spinning

I tend to find that I can get the best advice on this sort of thing locally. If you have things like craft fairs, where other people who do crafts exhibit or sell their work, go along and ask if anyone knows someone who spins. If you can get a lead on someone this way, this will probably be the best source of information for you. HTH.

I did quite some spinning 25 years ago and used a new spinning wheel by the brand name Louët, I was happy with it. At the rec.crafts.textiles.yarn newsgroup you certainly will meet more spinners and to advice you. Grea

Ashford in New Zealand make very good spinning wheels and all the accessories. I am on my second one. I didn't wear the first one out, we were living in the Northern Territory of Australa and the white ants made a meal of it.

Ashfords have an agent in Rondebosch Cape Town. Go to
