  • Hey Grace, I'll post a longer answer on my blog this week. The wheel is a Majacraft Suzie Pro with accelerator head. I love it for silk because it's fast and does well with silk, which needs a fair bit of twist. And I love spinning silk on either my bottom whorl handmade spindles, or Bosworth featherweights. ;-)

  • You make it look like its nothing.

  • Wow... always thought these wheels were so darn ugly...

    but BOY is it fast and smooth! Nice work :)

  • You make it look so easy! I just started spinning with a low whorl drop spindle, and it's so relaxing! I want to learn how to spin with a wheel, but it will be a while till I can afford one. You're inspiring!

  • It's hypnotic... *stares*

  • Does it make a difference whether the top knob (the one that opens it up so you can flip the head or switch to the other head) is on the front of the wheel or the back?

  • I love your spinning wheel and the silk is beautiful. How long have you been spinning?

  • I am so impressed.  You are a very graceful spinner.

  • What kind of wheel is this? What is your favorite wheel and hand spindle to use for silk?

    thank you for this, Grace in VT

  • Fantastic! Thank you so much!
