A New Find

The best find in My life since the Great wheel. This is one of the most beautiful wheels I have

seen. I just couldn't pass this by..... I was at our fiber fest( finger lakes fiber fest) and this wheel

barely got out of the van. I bought it with out spinning on it. This little wheel just caught my eyes. It is 1/4 sawn oak. The signature imprint is John Mitchel. I am not sure to the age of the

wheel. I took it home and it was a trip into time getting to know each other. You can feel the

groove worn into the treddle with your foot. I took it to my flax class and had a great time.

We really had fun getting to know each other. The Fiber fest was the best. Spent time with old friends and new ones. My wife and I

had a blast.....

I haven't posted in some time. I finished the Tom tem

sweater last season and got to wear it to Rienbeck ny fiber

fest. The sweater was made of the gray wool that you see in

previous post. A great pattern of Eliz. Zimmerman.
