The Lendrum and Ashford are the more expensive models, so you'll have to weigh that compared to the advantages/disadvantages of the other models. Also think about accessories you'll need: extra bobbins, additional flyers, etc.<br><br>One really great source for info is www.thewoolery.com. They have an excellent section on how to choose the right spinning wheel for "you".<br><br>Ultimately, try to get a wheel that has the best range of ratios for the $$. Since these items are quite pricey, I think it's best to buy one you'll never "outgrow" -- so try not to be seduced by the phrase 'great beginner's wheel'!<br><br>Good luck! I'm still longing for my Lendrum!! I've already requested it for Christmas;)<br><br>Oh... and TAG! You've been tagged to list 7 random things about yourself on your bloggy:) Check out my blog for the (brief) rules!Kristyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10270378963098007962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611531836073242029.post-70552800154583012282007-05-21T21:07:22.827-05:002007-05-21T21:07:22.827-05:00DH got me a louët s10 for my bday and i love it!
