looking for a spinning wheel to buy

Hi! I’m looking for a spinning wheel to buy.

My budget is around £100–£150. I can collect from London or the surrounding areas, but London would be preferable as I don’t have a car.

If you have one for sale, please feel free to get in touch. Thank you!

The Herring was introduced in 1983 winning a Design Centre award. Only around 1000 were made and the design was discontinued in 2015. It is stamped on the underside of the table with a Simon Williams stamp. 

It has a 0.5″ orifice, 3 enormous and original bobbins which can hold up to 200g. It has the ability to run in Scotch tension or in double drive and has three ratios.

It has its original instruction booklet.

This wheel is in perfect working order and only for sale due to down sizing.

This wheel is for pickup only from the Durham area. Will consider delivering locally.

Frank Herring Bentwood Spinning Wheel

This 1990’s spinning wheel won an award for its design.

It is no longer made but the company in Dorchester – Frank Herring and Sons sells the bobbins which fit it.

I have the instruction manual for it, but no bobbins.

If you are interested and are able to collect from Chesham, Buckinghamshire, perhaps you could email me on fionajwilcock@gmail.com

I cannot set an accurate price as I am not a spinner, but understand that it’s award makes it attractive.IMG 1952IMG 1951IMG 1953IMG 1366 1 1

Louët Spring 1 Floor Loom

Louët Spring Floor Loom (8 Shaft / 12 Treadle)

A really lovely opportunity to own a Louët Spring floor loom in excellent condition, with everything you need to begin weaving straight away.

This loom has been very well cared for and is such a calm, enjoyable loom to weave on, smooth, quiet, and beautifully made. It’s currently set up with 8 shafts (with the option to expand to 12 if ever needed), along with 12 treadles, so there’s a gentle flexibility to it. It would suit someone at the beginning of their weaving journey who wants something they can grow with, as well as someone more experienced looking for a reliable and thoughtfully made loom.

I purchased the loom from a seller in Wales and transported it to my studio. She had purchased it from George Weil.

Loom Details:

* Louët Spring floor loom

* 8 shafts / 12 treadles

* Weaving width: 110 cm

* Dimensions: W 140 cm × H 115 cm × D 94 cm

* Year: 2017

Included:

* Stick shuttles

* Weaving book

* Led light strip inserted below castle of loom

Everything is there to gently get going, which makes it feel like a really complete setup.

Condition: Excellent, well maintained

Price: £2,650

Collection: Notting Hill, London – collection preferred due to size

Reason for sale or trade : I would prefer a Schacht (American) or Leclerc (Canadian) loom as that is what I trained on and very familiar with. The countermarche system has been very frustrating and I’ve had a hard time progressing with being able to create anything. And I am moving up to Scotland for a job.

I’m very happy to answer any questions or share more photos.
