Popular Wheel Mechanics (DVD) Popular Wheel Mechanics Review by Regina VanScoy I spent 3 days with Judith MacKenzie taking a workshop.
It was a life changing experience to say the least. I could not possibly absorb everything she had to share but this video is a wonderful review of some of the things she taught and I can look at it over and over until I truly understand. It is the next best thing to taking a workshop from Judith. It is the best of all of her videos and I bought them all for myself last Mother's Day.

Choosing Your First Spinning Wheel. {*style:<b>Updated as of 8 July 2011, to reflect the latest wheels on the market and latest pricing. </b>*} Choosing your first spinning wheel is somewhat like choosing your first car. There’s a level on which it doesn’t really matter exactly what it is, because it’s going to do the trick to get you started, and odds are it’s going to be a little while before you’ve refined your spinning and your ideals for your spinning to a point where you really know what your exact needs are. In some respects, the best spinning wheel to start out with is one that someone will let you borrow or rent; this is especially true if the person doing the lending is going to be able to spend some time with you in person showing you how it works and getting the ball rolling for you.
If you have such an option, it’s an unbeatable first choice. The second thing to consider is if you have a sense of what kind of yarn you feel you’re most interested in spinning. New or Used?
