Edward repaired another Icelandic spinning wheel - that makes three
Icelandic wheels he repaired in 2003. Many Icelandic people emigrated to the Canadian prairies so we are
finding more of these wheels. It is always amazing to see them transformed with a few repairs, stain, polish and TLC. Edward
made a new flyer for this one copied from another Icelandic wheel he repaired. He also made a new footman and a turned a peg that was
missing. Liz, owner of the wheel, had removed the stain and finish from
some parts when she tried to clean it so Edward applied some stain and finish and polished
it up. We
returned the wheel to Liz when we traveled to Edmonton in early November
and she was delighted with its transformation. Jo-Anne test-spun on it and
hopefully, Liz is spinning
happily on it now. Liz's son supplied the "before" pictures
for us.
