[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 262399, member: 12214"] Don, Yes, it is. It is a reproduction Canadian production wheel, which means it spins really fast because of the large wheel that does not require lots of treddling to move fast. It wa made by The Merlin Tree in Vermont. I love it. I can spin yarn at least 2 - 3 times faster than I could with my old Ashford wheel. I just have to watch the dog's tail when spinning. :) I undo the drive band when I am not using it so it does not stretch the band at all. Even, so-called "non-stretch" twine will eventually stretch a little. I use mason's twine for the drive band. Cheap and doesn't stretch a lot. [/QUOTE]
