Turn, turn, turn, turn

I went and got a spinning wheel today.  Now I'm committed.  I have to learn to spin.  I did a bit this afternoon and I know one thing, 20 minutes on the wheel turned out better yarn than four hours on the drop spindle. 


This is the wheel.  It needs to be finished.  A fella in a town about 40 miles from here makes these. 



It's made of oak.  I'm kinda excited to get going on it. 


Best get going to bed.

Was it very expensive? I loved spinning when I was growing up, but haven't seen it as very affordable nowdays.
