Well I have come to the point where I really want a double treadle wheel & in order to do so I’m going to have to sell this fantastic single treadle Fidelas so that I will have the cash for my double treadle. I purchased this wheel from Jan and will be sending the 3 bobbins and the lazy kate along with it, it’s in fantastic shape as I’ve probably only spent about 24 hours of actual spinning time on it. I purchased this wheel mainly to see how I liked spinning, I love it & this wheel is great!
$200 includes shipping to the lower 48 states, paypal please or cashiers check. If you live elsewhere please let me know and I’ll calculate shipping.
yarn on bobbin is just for photo purposes, this is all I’ve used the wheel for, 1 bobbins worth, I’ll remove it before shipping.
