I have a nice, early 1990s Ashford Traditional, just completely reconditioned by craftsman Ron Antoine, who has a sterling reputation in the Pacific Northwest and repairs wheels from all over the country.

The wheel is finished, spins like a dream, is wonderful for beginner and experienced alike. I'm downsizing, so it is the first to go. I will include 1/2 lb of nice commercial fiber and the book Teach Yourself Visually -- Handspinning, if you would like to have it. I'm asking $300.00. Contact Betsy at lizzibet53@gmail.com for shipping quote.

I have a nice picker for sale. The picker does not have a name or logo on it but it works perfectly. It comes complete with stabilizing hardware to avoid any unnecessary mishaps. When I purchased this picker from this site approximately 2 years ago, I'd intended to use it more. I found that not to be the case and am hand-picking most of my fleeces. But, the picker works fine.

An older Babe single-treadle spinning wheel which has had very little use. Bought it for my partner who decided she didn't like spinning. This is the perfect wheel for a beginner! Made of PVC pipe, the plastic wheel is on ball bearings and treadles very smoothly. Comes with lazy kate, plastic drive band, and extra bobbins. This is basically what we paid for the wheel and extra bobbins. I will add actual shipping charges from Iowa. Contact liebcrow@earthlink.net

Natural wood color, single treadle, and a great friend. I upgraded to an Ashford Country Spinner, and haven't used this wheel since. So I'm selling her for a low price so someone else on a tight budget can learn to spin fabulous yarns. A brand new Louet S17 sells on eBay for $315 including S&H. I'd like to sell this wheel for $200. If you can't afford $200, please email me and maybe we can work out a barter. I am very willing to sell this wheel in exchange for raw white wool fleeces. Located on the Beautiful Oregon Coast, this wheel is happy to be shipped worldwide (buyer pays S&H).
