Is your spinning wheel made from PVC? I tried one at a fiber festival last summer and I’m a bit smitten.

Yes! It’s the Fiber Starter Wheel from Babe’s Fiber Garden. It’s more than twice as expensive as it was when I bought it in 2003, and it’s still cheap. https://babesfibergarden.com/collections/spinning-wheels-1/products/trillum-single-treadle-white

I have noticed that they are much more affordable than traditional wooden wheels and some e-spinners.

Oh hell yeah. 20+ yrs ago I was a new spinner. Ashfords were $300 for a very basic wheel, and I didn’t have $300. The Babe was $140 then, complete with accessories. Sold! It’s still my fave wheel. I got the single treadle.

As for e-spinners, I also have the EEW Nano, both v1 & 2. SUPER affordable, tons of accessories, fun to goof around with, not the greatest spinners in the world but good enough. Cheap spinner, that’s me… 😆
