Excellent photo!
It is nice to compare this spinning wheel with the ones I saw in the museum in Arnhem (Netherlands). The disign is the same, but the dimensions seem to be quite different.

Nice shot. I personally have two wheels and used to do some spinning.

Senna..thank you so very much....I believe these wheels are a bit smaller than most I've seen from this period as well.....I saw some at the Shaker Village we visited last summer and they were larger....

Tavascarow.....I've never tried to spin but we had a neighbor that spun wool and fur from a rabbit of all things. She made the most beautiful scarfs from the yarn..........So glad you like the photograph.
