Le forum du filage

Nansou, I've send you a goodie from the spinning retreat, I hope you will receive it tomorrow

I've see yours photos, it's a very nice country

I've an electric " auto" as holds it, mine is for children , but I'am small, then I can use it

Sandrine, I'm curious about Louet S10 with double treadle, but I don't really need it.  I have an order for a Little Grace wheel.  However, the New Zealand maker, Mike Keeves, cannot start making it until September.  He has a lot of orders.  When he finishes, he will put a metal plate on it with the name of the spinner.  I don't want my name on it because I may eventually sell it.

I also asked Mike if he could paint it magenta since the wheel is full of the heart motif.  He said he is too old to consider painting his wheel other than a dark or natural finish.    He said he could ship it without a finish and I could color it as I wish.  I was inspired by these Louet wheels.  I remember you painted yours, too.


Anyway, I'm willing to sell all my other wheels and just keep Gem and Suzie, but sometimes, I feel I need to change wheels so my spinning skill is not limited to one kind of wheel.  As you may notice, Victoria is different and so is the S45.  However, the Gem and the Suzie behave the same way.

By the way, the Grace wheel looks like it's a double treadle, but it's actually only single treadle.

Florence : that is so nice too !

Now I am getting excited !!! Stop by my mailbox mister Postman !!!

ho, what a beautifull landscape you enjoy! so quiet and green!

Hi there,

I am Andrew Poad and Therese (Chocolatte) recommended this forum to me. I was not sure of the best place to start writing so this seemed good to me.

I am 35 and work for Majacraft so obviously am quite interested in spinning. :-)

I am really enjoying reading your letters and it is nice to hear from spinners and craftspeople in a different part of the world to me.

Best wishes
Andy

Welcome Andy!

Welcome Andy !

Hi, Andy!  Glad to have you here.

Natasha Fialkov just joined as well!  Come on, Natasha, introduce yourself.  She'd like to come to the retreat and teach her brand of fantasy yarns.

Welcome Andy ! I'm happy that you're going with us, in this forum

Mic, Andy is in New Zealand

Here is the french translation of Andy's message :

Bonjour à tous,

Je suis Andrew Poad, et Thérèse (Chocolatte) m'a recommandé ce forum. Je ne suis pas sûr que ça soit le meilleur endroit pour écrire mais cela me semble être bon pour moi.

J'ai 35 ans et je travaille pour Majacraft, alors naturellement je suis intéeressé par le filage.

J'apprécie beaucoup de vous lire, et c'est bien agréable d'avoir des nouvelles de fileurs et d'artisants de différents endroits du monde pour moi.

Amicalement
