CHEAP wheel for sale on Ravelry!
http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/used-...s/2231915/1-25
a DT Pinkie Babe wheel for $175 with extras - $10 shipping!  3 JUMBO bobbins, delta flyer...this would make an awesome art yarn maker!
I am not a fan of PVC but this is a super cheap way of getting into wheel spinning with a reputable company's wheel. Frazzlehead started with a Babe and I know vendors who use them every weekend.
PVC can be painted and bedazzled and glittered and sponged and whatever it takes to make it more appealing - some folks even love the "industrial" steam punk look of the plastic and connectors. I have spun on one - they are cheap, they are wobbly, but they will spin yarn!
Some drop spindles cost this much - just thought I'd pass this info on!
