Thought to be 17th or early 18th century Dutch painted and decorated spinning wheel, showing a lot of wear from use. Decorated with scenes of Dutch multi masted sailing ships bearing the Dutch flag on one side and Windmills on the reverse. The Dutch used to spin the yarn from wool and flax for making sails for these ships as well as other household textiles. No attempt has been made to restore this item apart from light cleaning the wheel is still in working order and bears the marks of wear. The Conrod is missing and has been replaced temporarily with a wood batten.

fiber study and other fibery stuff: how to begin? When I started spinning last summer with a little home made spindle that I got as a present more then five years ago, I had absolutely no clue where this all would lead me. I was always knitting and sometimes crocheting but never thought I would like to make my very own yarn. I forgot the little spindle for more then five years and remembered when i traded a milking goat to somebody with icelandic sheep. I got a couple of roving and no idea what to do with it. When I came home, I remembered the little spindle made with a dowel and a CD. This was the magical start. To see the fiber transform into a yarn fascinated me that I wanted a "real" spindle. Searching the internet for stores in my area that could help me, I found the Spinning loft and Beth Smith in Howell Michigan. She picked out some spindles for me to try and I went home with an acorn spindle and some roving. It did not take too long until my first spinning wheel arrived. This was a Kromski Symphony. Because I also wanted a wheel that i could take to places, i was looking for a more compact travel wheel. I was not really fond of the Sonata from kromski and was looking at the jensen wheels. I had heard very good reviews on them and I decided to get a Jensen Tina II That wheel was such a delight to spin that i wanted another one from jensen. Ths time I got the opportunity to add the 30" Ashley in a beautiful birdsbeye maple with a big knot in the table. Not only is this a very decorative wheel, it also spins like a dream. So effortless.
