I call her Lynnie for short.
I got a single treadle Lendrum spinning wheel- the original portable spinning wheel. She is about 20 years old and is quite different than Mrs. Ashford.
Not that I needed another spinning wheel, but I couldn't pass up a relatively good deal.
She came with a generous amount of accessories including a regular flyer, super fast flyer and jumbo flyer. And I mean JUMBO! If you know what a flyer is, you may notice the size of the jumbo in the photo above. Also some hand cards, a drop spindle and a book! I will take some more pictures when I have some light!
I'm doing a bit of test driving currently, its so nice to have such a large bobbin, I can spin a lot of yarn! This jumbo flyer and bobbin is, as far as I know, no longer available. The new lendrums have a jumbo flyer, but its not this big!!!
