Here’s Elizabeth
Here’s my new spinning wheel…Elizabeth!!Okay, I know it’s an Ashford Elizabeth 2, and Elizabeth isn’t too original, but I really like the name Elizabeth, and actually, it fits 
I also got a lazy kate and 3 bobbins with the wheel and as a bonus gift, I got 8 oz. of beautiful copper colored Corriedale Top, a niddy noddy and 2 extra bobbins.
And here’s what my bobbin looks like after about a week of spinning:
I never knew how easy (and fun) spinning on a wheel could be!! Maybe I just got lucky getting this for my first wheel, but I think I picked a winner :)
Now I have to learn to ply. I’m thinking I might try Navajo plying , it looks like a great way to make a 3-ply yarn from one single…but I’ll have to research a little more before I make a definite decision on that.

Wow - very impressive spinning! Very even and very small - you’re a natural indeed! I love that color.
Keep it up, it’s SOOOOO worth it, wait until you knit your first item out of this, you’ll be amazed!
Happy Mother’s Day.
Congratulations! I love spinning and have 2 flax wheels and one wool (walking) wheel, as well as about a dozen drop spindles. It’s addictive.!
Enjoy!
Thanks for the nice comments! I am sooo enjoying spinning. I have plied this yarn and will get pics up soon. Question is: What to knit?!!
