Well okay, maybe it wasn't quite THAT easy. Louise hunted down a secondhand wheel for me and I paid the previous owner $250 for it. I did a bit of minor tweaking, replacing the flyer brake and the drive band and giving her a good oiling (lemon oil on the wood and sewing machine oil on the moving parts). She's a beautiful wheel and she spins like a charm. She says her name is "Mary". ;-)

Marlene,
So that is how I ended up with three Ashfords! Blame it on the replicater.
You will love that wheel, I know you already do. By the way, I do ship rovings to Canada,( allthough Canadian mail is so slow.) They get there eventually.

Welcome, Mary! Good purchase at a great price. I wish you the best of times with her.
