Electric Hand Spinning Machine (Letters)
 |
The spinner is extremely well-constructed out of maple wood. It does not dance or jump around even at the fastest speed. It is fitted with a dimmer switch and an electric sewing machine type foot pedal which allows adjustment to everybody's speed and taste. The spool is very large so that it will hold a maximum amount of spun yarn before it needs to be emptied. A full spool will hold 1¢ rounds of spun mohair and I can spin that amount in 1/2 hr., something I could never have done on my manual spinning wheel.
The spinner was hand built by Robert Routhier, Ferme L'anse des grosses roches, Le Ramous St. Fidele, Charlevoix Canada G0T 1T0.
