Little Peggy - A Rare Vintage New Zealand Spinning Wheel
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2023
- I recently bought a rare upright vintage spinning wheel from New Zealand - the Little Peggy - and wanted to share it with y'all.
While Peggy was more common in New Zealand, not that many of the Little Peggy wheels made it to the States, so when I saw one come up for sale at the right price, I snatched it up. Afterall, I had been looking for a portable wheel I could take with me to the park and events.
Hope you enjoy this video and I'll be back with a regular video soon!

Nice yarn you spun there. I just found a Little Peggy in an op shop the other day, and am looking forward to trying her out. (Probably a lot easer to find them here in NZ, as they were quite popular.) She looks like she was built in 1979, and has the flyer set to the left rather than the right, which suits me as I have my left hand forward when I'm spinning. I had wondered what the missing finial-looking thing was on the right hand side of the table, and you showed that there is meant to be an orifice hook there. I'll see what I can source - right now I'm just using a crochet hook 😀 Thanks for your lovely, informative video♥
Thank you for this video. I just bought one and I’ve never spun before, at least now I can google the correct terms to try to learn ❤
Your little peggy has found the perfect home where its cared for, appreciated and best of all used. My early years until about age 7 were as part of a semi communal christian community that was very crafty. (Seems odd to think of it now) I have memories of the little shared supply shop, pottery studio, wood working and leather working, macrame and spinning wheels being used. Seeing you spin brought it all back.
wau, such beautyfull spinning you make.
After I got my Haldane Orkney wheel, I use my Ashford traditional for plying. Uptake (pull on the yarn) can be changed by adjusting the tension or moving the drive band to another Whorl. Just changing the Driveband can require an adjustment or whorl change.
Very nice compact spinning wheel! Great find.
I have three of these ❤
Oh this is awesome! I would love a beginner’s or dummies look at spinning. We have sheep and shear them but don’t have the spinning wheel yet.
