8. Stray hairs of wool, angora or mohair compliment any outfit you might wear.
7. The color can be totally up to you via single ply, two-ply or navajo ply.
6. Its one of those so called "healthy addictions".
5. Keep all those Serta mattress sheep busy and off the streets
4. Be fashionable and chic by making your own art yarns.
3. Roving all kinds make a great insulator during the winter.
2. Spinning is calorie free and you actually may burn a few - calories I mean :op
1. Because I can
Heavenly Handspinning Spinning was born out of a desire to offer people an alternative to what is available in spinning wheels today. I began spinning (with a drop spindle) a couple of years ago and found myself really enjoying it. Wanting to try my hand at spinning with a wheel, my search for an affordable wheel began. To be honest, I was overwhelmed with the expense involved in purchasing a wheel. All I really wanted was a faster, some what simpler way of adding twist to wool roving, so that I could make yarn and enjoy the yarn more readily. Our first wheel Fidelis was born out of that desire and we are now making Fidelis and other quality wheels available to everyone that has the same need for a lovely, all-wood spinning wheel that is very affordable.
Do not let anyone convince you that you can not spin fine yarn with an Irish tensioned wheel. That is a bunch of baloney! Fine, sock-weight and lace weight yarn is all I spin and so do a lot of my customers. That is not to say this wheel is only for fine yarns. It is great for bulky and funky art type yarns as well. Spinning is about relaxing and having fun. It connects us to the past as well. Do not over think it. Just do it! The only tension should be in the yarn you are spinning.
