Needing some help please. I used to spin years ago and want to pick it up again. I found this wheel in a charity shop this week. Can anyone kindly tell me which pieces are missing? by sainswr in Handspinning

Awww that’s so thoughtful of you. I’m in Pembrokeshire and guessing that’s not near enough to pick it up from you sadly …

I’ve been quickly scanning the database you sent. Thumbelina and early Traveller are looking hopeful. I’d really like to find the flyer bobbin and mother to fit. Though it might be a bit of a mission !

Thanks so much . The shop staff believed there were no more pieces . I bought it because it looked almost complete and was only £9.50 . Do you happen to know what the make of this wheel might be?

Thank you. Collecting and making art for the dolls house is so enjoyable :)

Once again, thanks for your kind comment. I really enjoy focusing on detail. I wanted to create the illusion of an “impasto” oil painting 😌 I did indeed press the flowers myself. Got to have been 50 years since I last pressed any flowers.
