Here is a used Spinning Wheel which Jo Manginelli, a Prescott Spinner and Weaver has for sell. She has 5 wheels and decided to downsize her wheel collection. The Saxonie is a sweet deal.
Saxonie Spinning Wheel
Classic
Style, super smooth heel and toe
treadling, can be reversed for left or right spindle, frictionless ball bearings
and pitman drive, single hook flyer and easy change bobbins, lightweight, five ratios.
This wheel has a Scotch tension brake and flyer lead. The body is made of native New Zealand Rimu wood (distinctive reddish brown) and has turned wood spindles in the flywheel. The flywheel is made of a wood grain finished composite material so it should not warp and should run very true.
The speeds are changed by moving the stretchy drive belt from one groove into another. The stretchy belt takes care of belt tension, no need to fiddle with a belt adjuster.
