I have always professed to being disinterested in spinning at this point in my fiber exploration, but I think the universe is speaking to me on this one. It even came with this spool of handspun.
From looking around online I found that it is an upright wheel, and I found a photo of a very similar one that called it a Schippertje, which means "little skipper". It does look quite nautical. I also saw it described as a French style wheel or a boudoir wheel. I am fully in love.
I spent a few hours this evening trying to figure it out myself, and even managed to get a little bit of overspun and overly chunky yarn, but I am definitely looking forward to getting better at it. I'm in shock that I found it so perfectly. It literally dropped in my lap.
Thank you, fiber Goddess.
