Tips on How to Choose a Spinning Wheel - How To - Expertly Dyed

Let me first say that you don't have to get a spinning wheel to be a great spinner. You can make gorgeous yarn with a drop spindle. If you're interested in buying a wheel, though, you will find this video helpful in making your decision. In general, consider what types of yarns you want to make. Mostly lace? Medium? Super ultra bulky? Do you want to spin a wide spectrum of yarns, but only have space for 1 wheel? Here is a list of the things I talk about in this video: 1. Price - How much do you want to spend? Can you buy any wheel you want? What's your budget like? Make a list of the wheels you're interested in and compare them to your budget. 2. Double Treadle (DT) v. Single Treadle (ST) - I prefer a DT because I want to make sure each leg is getting a share of the work. However, they're a bit more expensive. For wheels which offer a ST and DT version of the same wheel, the DT version will be more expensive. How much more? Well, it depends. Inexpensive wheels (like a Babe production wheel), the difference isn't too much (less than $50), but more expensive wheels, the difference can be more than $100. Do you have arthritis or an injury? Perhaps a ST would be better for you? (3.0) Conversion kits - I glazed over this point in my recap, but it's important to talk about. If you're the person who wants to make a thin lace yarn and a super bulky, 1 stitch per inch kind of yarn, then you'll want to investigate wheels that have conversion kits. Especially if you want just 1 wheel. And a conversion kit is usually cheaper than buying a new wheel/flyer combo. Okay, what the heck is a conversion kit? Well, it's a new flyer, drive band, and bobbin combo which will allow you to make a different kind of yarn altogether. If you aren't interested in scaling your yarns, perhaps you can omit this from your decision-making process. 3.5. Test Drive! - If possible, try out spinning on a wheel you're thinking about. I offer some other ways to "test drive" virtually, if you can't try one out in person. I can tell you how fabulous the Kromski Minstrel is--but the fact remains, it's up to how you feel using that wheel. Does it feel finicky? Are you not a fan of X? Does it hurt your back to use it? These are important factors to consider, and are best when you can try them out in person. If you can't use one, watch videos. Also, ask the dealer and see if there's a return option, just in case it gives you trouble in some way. This isn't an exhaustive list of things to consider, but they were important for me. I had a few minor considerations (like space requirements) that I didn't talk about, but I didn't want this to be an hour long! I hope you found this video helpful.
