Pocket Spinner! Plus a New Adoption

My Pocket Wheel finally arrived - and I picked it up yesterday. It's so little! The opening of basket to the right of the wheel measures at 10", and the measurement from orifice metal opening to where the pocket wheel sits is 18". I'm already on my second bobbin. Fun!

Then guess what followed me home? Big Bertha! You can't quite tell that it's BIG, but to give you an idea, the trim on the wall is at 36", and the floor-to-top-of-wheel measures 45".

  1. Funny thing is, it looks like the Pocket Wheel has larger bobbins than the big wheel. What make is the big wheel? I'm curious!

  2. Amelia,the bobbins on both are not as large as a majacraft bobbin, but will probably hold about 3 ounces. The make of "Big Bertha" is unknown -- I was hoping someone might know. It is solid, and has some machined parts -- which may or may not have been custom. So, maybe it was a prototype?
