Rick Reeves was a talented spinning wheel maker. I have owned three of his wheels and loved them all but love this wheel and my little flax wheel the best. This wheel is Norwegian style with a flat table and four legs. It has a single wide treadle so you can spin on it regardless of how you draft - to the right or the left. The flyer is on the left hand side.
I am very sad to let this wheel go but I just bought a new Wyatt wheel so I need to rehome a couple of my wheels. This beauty spins and spins. I have used it to demonstrate spinning to tour groups here at the studio. It's an impressive wheel to watch spin.
Features include:
- Single wide treadle
- Norwegian Style
- Double Drive
- 30" Drive Wheel
- Flyer on the left side
- Orifice is 3/8"
- Height of Orifice is 25 1/2"
- Wheel is 37" tall, 43" long, 18" wide
- Separate Lazy Kate that holds 4 bobbins
- Four extra bobbins
I will not ship this wheel. You can come out here to the studio to pick it up or I will happily meet you within a two hour drive of the studio.
