I love to spin fleece. So much so that I take my wheel everywhere I can. The funny thing about spinning is that not everyone spins (I can't for the life of me know why not), and wherever you are, you attract a small gathering. One of my favorite places to spin is at my son's baseball games. I set a little rug on the ground, put my wheel on it, set up my chair and multi-tasking begins.

At one game last year, a tiny little girl wandered over and wanted to know about what I was doing, etc. Her little fingers traveled near to the moving parts and I worried for her safety. I didn't know this small person, she didn't seem to belong to our group, but was perfectly happy to be where she was. She eventually crawled up in my lap to "help" me spin. Twenty minutes went by when a frantic grandmother espied her cherub on my lap, spinning fleece. It was time for my new friend to leave, but she assured me that she would be back the next day to help me.

It is never in inconvenience to allow someone to try to spin, no matter their age. Nothing is lost except a little bit of fleece, and in the grand scheme of life the experience that you share is meaningful.

Louet S15
	The Louet S15 double treadle wheel is a real workhorse of a wheel. I have enjoyed it so much, and whether you are a new spinner or a seasoned spinner, this Louet has a lot to offer. It is sturdy, simple, and is very well balanced. I will get a picture and describe the bobbins in a few days. It is $300.00

She is a marvelous little wheel for someone who spins finer yarn, but she balks mightly at the lopi weight, she breaks my tension band, and she fills up the bobbin so fast that I feel like I just got in the grove, and now have to change out! he knew what the trouble was. I was spoiled. He is right, I was spoiled with the ugly, bulky wheel that I loved. Victoria is not meant to be a workhorse, she is a great wheel.
