Very interesting, again! I've been admiring and reading a bit about great wheels for some time now, but from a distance (Netherlands..) No great wheels available here, sadly. So interesting to know why there are different heights and styles. It didn't cross my mind that they were designed especially to spin cotton or wool. Which is logical if you think about it 🙂
@egaddis5973 Yes, maybe in Scotland. I've been longing to go there for a long time. Will be hard to find though, but who knows! A bigger house would be necessary ;-) Love your (too) small wheel!

Thanks for your comment. In Europe, you may see a muckle wheel which is somewhat similar
