How To Spin: From Choosing A Spinning Wheel To ... - https://fancli.com/2tCKOO
The most important part of a wheel is not the big wheel, or the treadles, and its certainly not how many other people have used it. The two most important parts are the flyer and the bobbin. That is where the spinning of yarn actually happens. Spinning happens, twist happens, because the flyer and the bobbin move at different speeds. That is true of all wheels. But in some wheels the bobbin spins first (and pulls the flyer along with it) and in others the flyer spins first (and pulls the bobbin along with it).
These wheels have one drive band and it pulls on a fixed whorl at the end of the bobbin. Thus the spinning is bobbin led. The bobbin rotates first and then friction between it and the flyer, pulls the flyer around. When the yarn feeding into the wheel is held slack (no tension) the flyer stops spinning and only the bobbin rotates.
These wheels have two bands. One band pulls on the whorl attached to the bobbin and one pulls on the whorl attached to the flyer. Or.. it can have one really long band that loops around and pulls on both whorls simultaneously. Examples include the elizabeth 30 from Ashford and the Mazurka from Kromski (which has sadly been discontinued).
Building wheels is for builders. Maybe you have a passion for that. But in my experience it takes someone several tries before they achieve a spinning wheel that performs like the commercially available models. That seems like a lot of time to me. A lot of time you could spend actually spinning!
For a more robust offering from Dreaming Robots, you might also check out their newest wheel, the Electric Eel Wheel 6.0 which will rotate at 1,800 RPMs. This new e-spinner is available for about $279 USD right now.
Several spinners in our community have also chimed in with support for their Spinolution Firefly e-spinners. These e-spinners are an interesting option in that they are modular. So you can take the flyer and use it on either the Firefly base (electric base) or the Monarch base (production treadle wheel). It also has the largest bobbin options of this entire bunch, with the largest bobbin capacity being 64 oz! So with the modular design, there are 4 oz, 8 oz, 16 oz, 32, oz and 64 oz options for the flyers. The price for the Firefly ranges from $1,219 to $1,429 depending on the size of the flyer. Spinners in our community have been spinning everything from cobweb yarn to bulky rug yarn on their Fireflys!
Re-enactors and interpreters use a variety of wheels. They take into account which historic sites they frequent and may use different wheels for different events. Wheels typically fall into one of these categories (borrowed from the National Park Service Museum Handbook):
Your answers should shape your clothing and gear choices, including your wheel. For example, while the English and Western Europeans favored the saxony spinning wheel (the flyer and drive wheel are offset on a table or bench), the Irish and Eastern Europeans seemed to favor a Dutch-style upright wheel.

A baitcaster reel sits on top of the rod so the spool is parallel to the rod. It works well with monofilament, fluorocarbon and braid line types. The line on a baitcaster reel comes off the spool directly in line with the rod while the line of a spinning reel is let off away from the rod.
Not to be confused with spincaster reels, spinning reels are preferred by anglers all over the world but are still easy enough for beginners to use. Unlike the spincaster reels, spinning reels are designed with an open face and a metal bail to prevent the line from nesting. The reel is mounted on the bottom of the rod for better balance when casting and the drag adjustment is located on top of the reel. A high-quality ultralight spinning reel will have you fishing like a pro in no time.
The game is played on a carnival wheel dubbed \"the Big Wheel\", which is filled with various cent values in increments of fives from 5 up to $1.00, and in this order (upwards: 5, $1.00, 15, 80, 35, 60, 20, 40, 75, 55, 95, 50, 85, 30, 65, 10, 45, 70, 25, 90). The amounts on the wheel are for gameplay purposes only, but there is a chance to win real money (see below).
The contestants are lined up by their winnings (lowest to highest). If two contestants winnings are equal, they will have a coin toss backstage to decide who goes first. If the coin shows heads, the first contestant goes first. If the coin shows tails, the second contestant goes first. The object of the game is to come as close as you can to $1.00 without going over. Anything over $1.00 loses the game. Each player will take up to two spins of the wheel, the wheel must go all the way around at least one time, or the contestant in control would get jeered and must do it again. After the first spin, the spinner can choose to either stay with what he/she landed on or spin again, on the second spin, whatever the contestant hits will be added to the first score, and (as previously mentioned) if he/she went over $1.00, that contestant is eliminated from the game, otherwise, that player stands under the scoreboard and waits it out.

Spinning is an ancient textile art in which plant, animal or synthetic fibres are drawn out and twisted together to form yarn. For thousands of years, fibre was spun by hand using simple tools, the spindle and distaff. It was only with the invention of the spinning wheel in the Islamic world circa 1030, and its subsequent introduction to China, India and Europe in the High Middle Ages, that the output of individual spinners dramatically increased. Mass production later arose in the 18th century with the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution. Hand-spinning remains a popular handicraft.
In medieval times, poor families had such a need for yarn to make their own cloth and clothes that practically all girls and unmarried women would keep busy spinning, and \"spinster\" became synonymous with an unmarried woman. Subsequent improvements with spinning wheels and then mechanical methods made hand-spinning increasingly uneconomic, but as late as the twentieth century hand-spinning remained widespread in poor countries: in conscious rejection of international industrialization, Gandhi was a notable practitioner. The hand spinning movement that he initiated as a part of the Indian freedom struggle has made the handwoven cloth known as \"Khadi\" made from handspun cotton yarn world-famous. Women spinners of cotton yarn still continue to work to produce handspun yarn for the weaving of Khadi in Ponduru, a village in South India.
A Saxony wheel (also called a flax wheel) or an upright wheel (also called a castle wheel) is invaluable when spinning flax to make linen. The ends of flax fibres tend to stick out from the thread unless wetted while being spun, so the spinner usually keeps a bowl of water handy when spinning flax. On these types of wheels both hands are free as the wheel is turned with a treadle rather than by hand, so the spinner can use one hand to draft the fibres and the other to wet them.[7][8][9][10] These wheels can also be used to spin wool or cotton.
The spinning jenny, a multi-spool spinning wheel invented c. 1764 by James Hargreaves, dramatically reduced the amount of work needed to produce yarn of high consistency, with a single worker able to work eight or more spools at once. At roughly the same time, Richard Arkwright and a team of craftsmen developed the spinning frame, which produced a stronger thread than the spinning jenny. Too large to be operated by hand, a spinning frame powered by a waterwheel became the water frame.
In 1779, Samuel Crompton combined elements of the spinning jenny and water frame to create the spinning mule. This produced a stronger thread, and was suitable for mechanisation on a grand scale. A later development, from 1828/29, was Ring spinning.
To make various yarns, besides adding novelty elements, spinners can vary all the same things as in a machined yarn, i.e., the fibre, the preparation, the colour, the spinning technique, the direction of the twist, etc. A common misconception is that yarn spun from rolags may not be as strong, but the strength of a yarn is actually based on the length of hair fibre and the degree of twist. When working with shorter hairs, such as from llama or angora rabbit, the spinner may choose to integrate longer fibres, such as mohair, to prevent yarn breakage. Yarns made of shorter fibres are also given more twist than yarns of longer fibres, and are generally spun with the short draw technique.
Wool may be spun before or after washing, although excessive amounts of lanolin may make spinning difficult, especially when using a drop-spindle. Careless washing may cause felting. When done prior to spinni
