I spin on an Ashford Traditional wheel although there are a wide range of lovely spinning wheels available from several different manufacturers. Since I often bring my wheel with me to the community market, the more compact Ashford Traveller might have been a better choice.

I find that spinning is very relaxing. It is quite magical still to watch the loose pile of fluff become a strong thread and yarn.

The cashmere roving I am spinning is from our 2006 combings and was prepared by Mini Mills in Belfast, PEI.

It would be wonderful to have a mill closer to home. Tom prepared a fibre processing feasibility report for the Advancing Canadian Agriculture and Agri-Food council in June of 2007.
