Ooohh!! Every third Saturday at the store, huh? If the husband is in town, then I’ll be sure to drop by!! I’m new to the whole spinning thing, but I’m finding it quite addicting… can’t quite stop myself from thinking about getting my hands on new fibers, and considering different colorways (which means I’ll have to start dyeing soon!). I _really_ want to try my hand at the wheel, since it seems it’ll go much faster… drop spindles are fun, but I can’t see making skeins fast enough to keep up with my addiction at the rate I’m going.

If I didn’t have to work on Saturdays, I’d join you on your spinning days. :} I still want to get in there and check out the Louet. How much longer will it be at the shop, do you know?

How is the balance on the Victoria? I have a Louet S90, which seems to be the out of production, older, heavier brother to the Victoria, but I feel like the tripod isn’t wide enough to spin on carpet. If the lazy kate is open and full of yarn, it sometimes just falls over. The design of the Victoria seems to be better, but is the base wide enough to be stable?
