I Hate Doing This

I have no choice but to sell the spinning wheel. I've never used it, am not convinced I'm coordinated enough and have an arm injury. Plus, I could use the money.

Specs as I know them:

• Ashford Traveller, made in New Zealand.


• It's a little dusty, but that's it. To the best of my knowledge, it was purchased new by the previous owner, used just a little (a couple yards' worth), then came to live with me. (All the stuff on the second bobbin is pencil roving, not spun yarn.)


• It's a single treadle -- I guess double now comes standard.


• Includes 4 bobbins, Lazy Kate and threading hook.

Sorry I can't ship it. I can meet the buyer within a reasonable distance.

Asking price: $295.00
Retails for ~$440

Destash - A list in Progress

I'm destashing. Knitting stuff first, then other books, crafts, etc. If you're interested, comment or send an email. Prices don't include shipping, unless noted, because I'm a terrible judge of weight. Let's see. Checks are okay if I know you personally (long-time internet buds included in this); otherwise Paypal is the way to go. First come, first serve. On the off chance that more than one person is interested in something, and the first person changes their mind, I'll contact the next person. No trades. I'm trying to destash!

I'll keep updating this list as I work through my things. There'll be a link in the sidebar, too.

Sox Stix (image). Neither have been used. They are so pretty, but I've found that I just don't like using DPNs in general, so shorter skinnier ones for socks don't sound like a good idea to me.
