What is the stick thing??? @docmaggoo The description read
Ashford spinning wheel made in NZ with spare bobbins, rack , a sort of rod thing the purpose of which is a mystery. There is also a large amount (5 bags full) of clean raw wool of various colours (white through to brown) to go with the wheel. Everything you need to start spinning.
:hohoho: :hohoho: :hohoho: :hohoho:

That's an amazing bundle!!!!

I :love: the wheel. It's beautiful!!!

The 'stick thing' is a niddy noddy. Look it up on YouTube. It's for taking the spun yarn off the bobbin and winding a skein!!
