Spinning Wheel?

[corvaxgirl]

I want to get a wheel in the near-ish future. I'm looking for a wheel under $400 that can be used while sitting on a couch, if spinning on a wheel on the couch possible? I'm just starting the wheel shopping process and I've never used one or owned one before.

There is a friction-drive wheel for $299 that will fit in a tote bag (that I have been saving up for); find it HERE!

I love my Pocket Wheel. It's a little more than you want to spend but I fit it in a tote bag like the Hitchhiker. It's double treadle and the treadles are a little higher off the ground making it a great couch wheel. I also have a Lendrum but the Pocket Wheel is easier to travel with, takes up almost no space and is very light weight.

I also wanted an economical spinning choice that is easy to move around, so I got a Babe double treadle wheel. Works great sitting on the couch with some cushions behind the back for support and to scoot you forward a little bit. I can also lift it up with one finger. Its less expensive because it is constructed of PVC instead of wood, but in my opinion works just as well as the wooden ones and I have made a ton of great yarn on it (I haven't BOUGHT hardly any yarn as a result!). Here is a link:

I have had mine for two years and the prices have gone up a bit since then, but still all are well within your price range and very portable due to the lightness of the PVC.

I would like to sell my traditional ashford spinning wheel. It is a wonderful bargin at $350. It has the jumvo flyer and the 2 clems carders and a lazzy kate. I live in NH and if someone would like to buy it and pick it up that would cut the cost of shipping.
It has the orginal smaller flyer and post which I kept when I adapted it with the jumbo.
