Wool: A work in progress

[Elen Sentier]

Very neat to see the whole process. That spinning wheel is a might different than the ones I'm used to seeing here across the pond. Is there a relation to the wheel diameter and the ease of spinning, or is it simply a case of being easier to store compared to a 3' wheel?

A double-treadle wheel is much easier on the legs than a single treadle, also on the back as you don't have to sit twisted. Mine doesn't get time to get stored, it lives in the sitting room and gets used several times a week .
