We went to the fair yesterday and Cody took lots of photos while I spent hours on end at Sheep to Shawl. On the way home I rented a spinning wheel from Village Wools.

These are my favorites from the batch

here in the us we fry whatever will stay still long enough to be dipped in batter

The spinning wheel I’ve rented for the next two weeks (at a very reasonable ten dollars a week!) is the exact same one the lady in the middle is working on. It’s a Lendrum Double Treadle Foldup. This is pretty much the wheel we’ve decided to buy someday.
