Hi,
I found this forum thru a web search. I love to read about what other knitter, spinners, and fiber crafters are doing, and I'm always looking for information to help me make my next purchase: a spinning wheel. So far I've been using several models of drop spindles, but I just finished 4 spinning lessions, and I love it! I got to try a Kromski Prelude, a Schact-Reeves, and a Jensen (not sure of the model). I'm waiting for a Minstrel to arrive so I can try it. Anyway, enough from me.

Where have you been trying out wheels Cheryl?
That sounds like an impressive selection. Which do you like best so far?

I'm working with a LYS here in Las Vegas. So far I like the Schact-Reeves the best, but it also seemed to be far the pickiest as far as adjustments. I did like the Kromski Prelude, but I think it might be too basic overall. The Jensen was beautiful, but it seemed to be set up left-handed or at least was awkward to use.
