....SPINNING WHEEL! Can't tell I'm excited, right? It's this model
http://www.yarn.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/product.detail/categoryID/D1AC70BE-4204-4C48-A1D3-ED14BE4F3BCA/productID/726D9689-77E6-4DE3-9CD6-FA4583259BC0/?green=20892288330 with a canvas carrying case and all the bells and whistles. I got it from a family selling their mother's estate and since none of them spun or cared about it, they were only asking $200. It had LITERALLY only been used twice. Perfect timing, too, next weekend is Shearing Day! :D

Molly, that is exciting. I sure wish we lived closer. I have my great grandmother's wheel and need to learn to use it really bad. That is my goal, to find someone to teach me. Then I neen to get a few fiber sheep so I will have my own wool. I have had Suffolk and sheared them before. But did not keep the wool. It really isn't the best to learn with though. Then I need to learn to knit. So I wonder what the best fiber sheep would be for my area. I need to do some research now.
Have fun! I hope you can post pictures of the shearing, please. I would LOVE to see that.

Thanks gals, it's fun to have someone to share the excitement with! DH couldn't care less, lol. We have 5 Tunis and 2 CVM sheep we will be shearing. I have fleece from Border Leisters, Icelandic, Chevoit, Churro, and Painted Desert sheep that I've been playing around with on the drop spindle (along with CVM, which is heavenly!!) and I can't wait to get going on the wheel! Now, to find more hours in the day....
