From Jen


My sister Jen recently passed away, and her family have given me her spinning wheel, I remember her spinning away and turning out many home spun jumpers for anyone wanting one. I think it is about thirty years old, locally made with Tasmanian timber and she really did treasure it. I will most likely give it to my daughter (who would love to have a go at spinning Kate from http://www.creativeworldwithkate.blogspot.com/ ) Kate is a mad crocheter - who knows what she might make? But for know it is sitting in my sewing room where I can think of Jen.

  2. What a beautiful spinning wheel. I'm sure Kate would love to create her own yarns if you gave it to her.

  4. So very sad that you have suffered such a loss. And what a really beautiful treasure to have to keep your sister with you. It sounds like it will become a family heirloom x
