Are you spinning badger fur to make that lovely grey colour? I suppose if you were going to shear the cubs, this would be the right time of year for it.
Oooh, I'm incredibly jealous. Been planning to buy a wheel for months but I've had to wait until the library's quiet enough to book some leave. Have to wait until the 15th of June to get mine and learn how to use it.
So, if I get the alpaca fleece washed you will be able to spin it into saleable yarn for me, yes? How fab! Let me know how long it is likely to take..;-) Seriously, it looks great. If you get stuck I know someone who can give you advice - lots of it - and she used to be a teacher.....
It's a Victoria innit? Nice wheel had my eye on one of these until I found my Joy going cheap, nice yarn you're spinning too, no going back! na ah ah ah ah ( wicked evil laugh)

Yay for wheels.
You forgot the photos of the folding magic! And the mighty bag!
Go Badger!
Don't you find double-treadle a bit tricky though? I assume you jump back and forth from one pedal to the other :-D good exercise!
oooh where did you get it...its bootiful I hate you :P
I have one of those! Thankfully it's less squeaky now than when it was new.

Ooh what fun - so interesting to be able to spin your own fur.
Wow. It is so pretty! Looks like you have picked it up pretty quickly. Did you already know how to do it?

and that badger fur is looking lovely all spun up.
Oh wow! That's so cool!
Oooh, its beautiful (I think spinning wheels are such works of art). Good luck with the spinning and looking forward to seeing your creations :)
