This morning I went to my local all things yarn and spinning shop and found this lovely carved and shaped niddy noddy. It looks Scandinavian, would love to know who it was made by, it rests beautifully in the hand, has a little peg to take out in order to slip the skein off.

Antique Dutch Flax Wheel
My antique Dutch flax wheel was brought over from Holland and sold here in the U.K in an antiques market. It has an integral wool winder and a distaff with blocks of peat/solid moss to hold the fibre. Little bone or ivory finials. It is working but a little tricky. 18 inch wheel, smells like a church interior.

Hi. I've just come to your blog from ravelry. Nice to meet you. Your collection of wheels is very impressive (I thought having two was a bit excessive!). I was down in your part of the world on Wednesday (Church Lench), it's lovely round there.
