Looks like we have similar tastes. I started with a Joy – still my travel wheel – and ended up getting a Schacht DT in the spring. I love it. I can spin for 6 or 8 hours at a sitting without getting tired. It took several hours of spinning to really break it in and get those little squeaks out. I chose this over the Majacraft too and I don’t regret it. The only thing is in that picture it looks like the whorl is on backwards. The large flat end should face the back.

Your new wheel is BIG!
And the bio-clipping is nothing for me. Not natural enough. An injection doesn’t belong to a pure product

I just noticed that on Nov 28, 2004 you said “but I‚Äôd never seen spinning before and it looked like fun!” And look, now you have 2 spinning wheels. I need to stop reading your blog. It’s too dangerous. Inspired by your photography, I sold 2 wonderful cameras and bought a Nikon D70 that I am thouroughly enjoying. And now with your picture of the Matchless in front of the Joy I am suffering new wheel envy….

congrats on your schact! I have owned mine for 5 years now and it just continues to IMPROVE with age!!
I love mine and wouldn’t part with it for anything. The need for oil decreases over time.. and the wheel just keeps on singing along
Happy spinning! that wine colored roving is yummy!

Congratulations on your new wheel. That bioclip method looks much less nasty that shearing. I wonder what PETA people have to say about it?

Congrats on the new wheel. I’ll have to remember the banging part when I (someday) get one of my own. Enjoy it!
