I spent money, last weekend... So this weekend, I had to forage for mushrooms, to eat, lol. Ok, jk. The wheel is an extremely gently used Ashford single drive, single treadle, finished model, and I'm in love! It's so smooth! Maybe someday, my yarn will be smooth, too. I'm not holding my breath until then, but maybe. I picked up a niddy noddy to go with it.

Lots of felting goodies, and a very cool book on natural dye, after the brain- overload class on the same topic, as well as some logwood, that makes for an incredible, gorgeous purple dye!
I didn't buy ANY fiber!

That is a beautiful looking haul. It definitely looks capable of keeping you busy!

I just wish I had more time to develop my fiber skills. I will try to make it my winter goal, but last winter seemed to fly by with nothing getting done except some sewing.

The Traveller is such a great wheel.  And you can still buy upgrades for it if you ever need/want.  

What a great haul!
