Too Many Wheels.

That's it. I now officially have Too Many Wheels. Also, I want to buy a set of wool combs and they're far too expensive for my current equipment budget so I've decided to sell a couple of wheels to raise the money for combs.

First wheel up for sale is my Frank Herring Saxony wheel. Complete wih six bobbins, original orifice hook, on-board Lazy Kate and instructions for both use and assembly. Can be used wit either Scotch Tension or double drive.



And the completely refurbished Ashford Mk1 Traveller that I spoke about recently. (This is the "before" picture, I hasten to add. It's a lot cleaner now.) Three bobbins and an on-board Lazy Kate. Scotch Tension.



I'm currently in the process of taking pictures and writing up a description of each before I put them on Ebay next week. Might put them on Ravelry too. I just wanted to give you, my faithful readers, the chance to express any interest in either wheel first.

Temptress! However I can't actually fit another wheel in my flat with out loosing all the remaining floor space!

Temptress! is right! Only I don't think I could afford the postage to the U.S. *sigh* One day.

I think I would sell nearly all of my wheels, too, to buy those combs. Creme de la creme!

Anna said...

ooooh the herring... but Linda's right. Shipping to the US would be painful.
