It's a Kromski Minstrel with a clear finish.
It arrived on Friday afternoon and Paul and I put it together. Friday and Saturday I spun some of the Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) fiber that was free with purchase of the wheel from The Spinning Room.
It's 29g spun 2 ply (last part is chain plied), and about 55 yards, 19 wpi (wraps per inch) (that must be wrong ... it's anywhere from fingering to aran weight).
Last Friday while we waited for the UPS man, Spike and I dyed some of the BFL to keep things interesting.

The braid on the right is what I'm spinning up now. It's hard to stay focused on finishing my House Cup knitting and crochet projects by the end of the month with my new awesome fun toy!! Must focus!!

ReplyDeleteAt least there are a couple of classes where spinning & dyeing work this month?
