My New Spinning Wheel

Here's a picture of my new spinning wheel. It's an Ashford Traditional Double Drive. Usually cost about $565 new. Got this one for $150(!) and it's in excellent condition. I just need to figure out if I rigged it up right. I also need to learn how to spin on it hahaha I never mastered my kick wheel that I used to have and this goes way faster than it, but the yarn doesn't feed when I spin which causes me to  over twist the fiber , and, sometimes, it will stop me from treadling and spin the opposite way.

The lady that sold the wheel to me will be coming over around noon to show me how to work it. I am very excited! I really want to learn how to spin, and it's been something I've been wanting to do for a while now. I remember when I heard about spinning yarn, I tried to make my own spindles from pencils, CDs, found hooks and little o-ring gasket things, but couldn't source local fiber at the time. So, I put spinning on the back burner until I decided to get an English Angora after my rabbit passed away while my husband was deployed. I ended up getting a kick wheel, but as I said before, I never mastered it, so again I had to push spinning out of my mind for a while, until I came across the ads for the wheel, the drum carder, and the other supplies. The fact that I was able to afford it at the time made it seem too good to be true, but here they all are, and free lessons to boot!

Did I mention that I'm super excited? :3
