His beneficiaries are legion in the part he created: they number up his years. Greatwheel Dunlop was the name was on him: behung, all we are his bisaacles. As hollyday in his house so was he priest and king to that: ulvy came, envy saw, ivy conquered. Lou! Lou!

Interrupt the doomscrolling for a minute? Spinning helps me calm down. Hard to believe someone as squishy-looking as I can contain as much rage as I do, but that's 2026 for you.

The wheel I picked up in Philadelphia 2 weeks ago. The rim has some cracks that could use stabilization, but it spins very nicely. The yarn stop is a spindle whorl, and so is my improvised axle retaining "nut."

A bright blue, plastic whorl looks festive but also out-of-place on the spindle of an antique great wheel (aka "wool wheel," "walking wheel"). In the background are green houseplants and a harvesting knife. The hub of the antique Pennsylvania great wheel. The original orange paint is complemented by a small wooden "toy" wheel, that has been painted blue and pressed onto the end of the axle in place of a missing retaining nut. In the background are the drivewheels of several other walking wheels. The great wheel (GW) on a porch on a rainy day. It is parked next to a very similar GW and a couple other spinning wheels with large drivewheels and no treadles.

Whirlwind trip to Philadelphia and back. Main mission was picking up flax seed (accomplished!). Side quest: bought this beautiful antique PA great wheel. Now I'm collapsed on my couch, too tired to even start cleaning it.

An antique spinning wheel from Pennsylvania. This is a Great Wheel, also called a wool wheel, walking wheel, or spindle wheel. It is a dark, natural wood color with jaunty orange stripes on the wheel and spindle posts, and the hub. Detail of the spindle of the wheel. It's very long! At the moment, it is threaded through the maidens. I will make new corn husk bearings for it as I rehab this wheel. My dog is sleeping on the floor in the background. Detail of the drivewheel. Ten spokes, and a wide rim of riven wood. This wheel is probably about 200 years old.

Spa day for antique spinning wheels continues. This one is a great wheel/wool wheel/walking wheel, and one of my favorites. I'm using a product called Daddy Van's to polish. It's just beeswax, carnuba, and olive oil.

An antique great wheel in a living room. Lots of houseplants and grow lights in the background. A blue heeler is sitting in front of the wheel, looking at the camera. Drivewheel of the walking wheel. It is very dark and shiny with polish. The wooden rim is wide. It has ten spokes. The spindle of the great wheel. One maiden and the spindle itself are of lighter colored wood. They are replacements of missing parts that were made about ten years ago. Bearings of braided corn husk hold the spindle in place between the maidens.

A festive moment in Nottingham, December 2023. We can see a man standing alone in front of a truck selling sweets. It's a Christmas market square with lots of colorful lights and a Ferris wheel in the background.

Weather perfect, but the crowds downtown were horrendous. And a big 🖕🏼 to the driver exciting the ferry terminal who almost hit me because he didn't think the red light applied to him 🤬

Oh the squid playground is open now by the #GreatWheel

The Great Wheel on the Seattle waterfront. The wheel is 175 feet high. Elliott Bay is blue. As is the sky over Puget Sound.

My guild has a Great Wheel and I’ll take any and every opportunity to brush up my skills… after I’ve helped other folks get the hang of it. The top layer of the spindle is mine. We need to work on our cop-building on this wheel!
The spindle of a great wheel, with a cop of white wool in a more bulbous formation than would be ideal! #handspinning #handspun #spinningyarn #handspunyarn #spinning #spinster #yarnspinning #greatwheel #walkingwheel

It’s got the drive band over the bobbin, it has no flyer but also no spindle so it’s not a greatwheel and those don’t have a treadle anyway, and what the hell is even going on with the footman?
That is a quality SWSO (Spinning-Wheel Shaped Object) and can serve as pseudo-rustic decoration or a lamp
Front view of the “spinning wheel” in Blue Prince, which looks almost reasonable until you notice the drive band going over the bobbin and the lack of flyer. You can’t make yarn with this. Back view of the “spinning wheel” in Blue Prince, showing that the footman connecting the treadle to the wheel does so in a way that will obviously interfere with the structure. Not only can you not make yarn on this, it will not even spin.

In addition to the drive band… situation… there is no flyer visible, the treadle is missing and there’s no footman (connects the treadle to the main axle). Which means this is closer to a greatwheel, but then it needs a quill and the drive band still cannot go over your yarn storage that is SILLY

Two bobbins, a full spindle and an empty box that held rolags the night before.
