This is the giant box my spinning wheel came in! Wow...
I can't quite reach that last box!!! Can't fall in on top of wheel...
Success!!! Tiggy!! Meet Wheel! Don't be jealous!! I still love you best!!!
Oog! Took some doing but I FINALLY wedged the treadles onto the metal bar. Hooking up the footmen was a piece of cake!
ok! now for the FLYER!!! I can do this!
Boy! did they wrap up the top well or what? Must find scissors.
Ta da! Pretty.
A frantic phone call to Paula at Woodland Woolworks (she is the best). And I've spun some yarn! Yay!!! Oh boy you can make lots and lots of yarn compared to a drop spindle. But I still think it's easier to bead on a spindle. But I guess all that spinning while walking home and spinning on the PATH and the subway paid off!!! I spun yarn!! easy as pie on the spinning wheel! Must go experiment with silk hankies!!

Congratulations. It's a slippery fiber slope you've just reached. Can't wait to see your wheel in action.
