We have been given 5 sheeps fleeces whilst in Portugal this year. Emma wanted to have it turned into yarn, but what a job we've had trying to find someone to do this. Wanted it done in Portugal so as we could keep a story to the whole thing but couldn't find anyone that would do the whole process from cleaning-spinning. Eventually found someone in the UK, so just this last week we've been and dropped them of and are looking forward to the end result of yarn.
This has got us thinking about having a go at some spinning ourselves. We would need a wheel that we can have in the van so have looked at some new ones and the Ashford traveler and Ashford traditional have been recomended. A new one would be around the £400 mark and because we don't know how far we will go with the thing it's more than we want to spend.
So is there anyone out there that's got one sitting around that they may want to get rid of if so please do let us know.
Thanks
Shawn and Emma
