I am trying to figure out how I could make my own spinning wheel since it is not in my budget to pay $400 for a brand new one right nowAny ideas, websites, ebooks? HELP!!! I know how to make a homemade drop spindle, I am looking to make a spinning wheel.
yu should start with big needles because they are very easy to learn with and once you get more advanced you could switch to smaller onesAny yarn from JoAnn Fabrics i would suggest they have good qualityYou should start out with something basic like a scarf until you get the hang of itKnitting really relaxes me! Good luck!
A-HA!! You have asked a question that is right up my alley of answers! Do what was popular, back in the pre-Elementary school-age-years of the 1960'sGlue a set (maybe 4 - 5) popscicle sticks together at each center-pointAt this converging point, press a small sewing needle through the glued sticks, producing a balanced top-like gadget to spin upon the tip of the needleGlue additional sticks on the outside rim of the protruding sticks to balance and add weight to the deviceNow you have a spinning wheelSPIN AWAY!
