Spinning wheels

I have 2 store wheels that will be used for lessons and demostrations.

One is an Ashford Tradional and the second is a Louet S10 (with removable skein winder).

I also received a new set of Ashford student carders - slightly rusted, a 1/2 lb of Jacob sheep wool batts and a pound of raw fleece still in the grease. Later, I should get an Ashford niddy noddy - when she finds it.

Both wheels are in great shape. The Ashford is the oldest, upwards to 40 years old. The Louet is newer. It was bought originally in the mid 1990's.

So far, I am playing on both wheels. I find the pedal action of the Louet easier to use. I have had 2 right ankle surgeries and it never occurred to me that a spinning wheel would be difficult for my ankle to operate.
