    Yes Tarra wheels are great. Also Sheridan was a great wheel. These makers have finished production but I believe places like Wonderflex in Malvern (Melbourne) have bobbins to fit. Everyone learned on an Ashford but who would use a spinning wheel with
    Scotch tension when these used wheels are still available on EBay or from another spinner at your local craft group. Good luck with your purchase if it’s still unsold. Be quick as they are sought after. Margie

    Yes, I have a Tarra spinning wheel... its the carousel style which is much easier to spin than a big wheel. I bought it brand new and have not done much spinning lately and its for sale. Regards Marsha Babington
