Although spinning with my Louët wheel was a vast improvement compared with spindle spinning, I wasn’t entirely happy with the fineness of the singles I could spin with it. I’ve been thinking of buying a more sophisticated spinning wheel for a while now, and when my parents were in the states for a month, I though this would be the perfect opportunity to order one and have them bring it back with them, thus cutting on the shipping costs.I was debating between Schacht Matchless and Majacraft Rose, though my internal debate was very quickly resolved when I found out that Rose has to be ordered 3 months ahead, while I found a Matchless in stock at Webs.
They returned a few days ago, and today they brought me the spinning wheel all the way to Jerusalem. I have already mounted it, but haven’t spun with it yet, though it does feel oh-so-smooth. I can’t wait to actually spin with it, I’m so excited!
