<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GaleriaGila, post: 161304, member: 993&quot;]Google tells me...</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The type of wheel you get really depends on the type of spinning you want to do, and, if by flax wheel, you mean a great wheel, the amount of space you have for one. A general purpose spinning wheel is generally going to cover the gauntlet of fibers you are going to want to spin - as in wool, alpaca, silk, bamboo, angora, mohair, etc.. A flax wheel will have a distaff to hold the flax and a smaller orifice (where the yarn goes in as you&#039;re spinning) than a regular wool wheel, this is not to say that you can&#039;t spin flax on a wool wheel, or vice versa, because it can be done. Depending on the individual wheel, flax wheels can also have a flyer set up, but the ratios are generally different than with a wool wheel. One other thing to consider with the wheels, if it&#039;s a great wheel, you aren&#039;t talking about a flyer and bobbin type setup you are talking about a setup that more resembles a drop spindle set on its side. Given a choice, I definitely would go for the regular wool spinning wheel.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I like the bird cage part!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]43975[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.knittingparadise.com/t-12636-1.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.knittingparadise.com/t-12636-1.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.knittingparadise.com/t-12636-1.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
