I’ve come to the very hard decision to sell my gorgeous Golding Glory spinning wheel in the flemish strapwork design. My house is too rowdy with little boys and big dogs for me to keep it down in the family room or living room, and it’s been in my bedroom, totally unused, for months. It is just too lovely for me to keep a tool I won’t use, and I’m finally ready to admit that I need something less precious or finely tuned so I’m able to use it and not worry about it being ruined.
This wheel spins like the wind, it’s very easy to treadle with either foot or both, the momentum is glorious and it’s completely effortless to spin on. After fussing with my older double drive wheel it’s such a relief and pleasure to sit at a wheel that doesn’t require tons of constant adjustments to draw in or get the right tension or what have you. It just works, steady and consistently.
I recently mailed the flier head, standard bobbin, and standard flier back to the Goldings for a tune up and check over. He completely rebalanced it and gave it a clear bill of health. The wood has been carefully and regularly oiled. Apart from a few dings on the treadles which are from normal wear and use, the wheel is in like new condition and is one year old.
I’m in the Portland, OR metro area and I’d very much love to sell it locally. I am absolutely willing to ship the wheel or get it on a wheel railroad though, if you’re not local.
Also, I purchased an extra standard bobbin separately (for which I paid $85 plus shipping) which I will include with the wheel, for a total of 3 standard bobbins, and one mini bobbin.

This wheel is completely silent, steady as a rock with no vibrations, shimmies, or wiggliness. The tension is easy to adjust and it’s a fabulous pleasure to spin on, like all Golding wheels. They’re works of art, and mine was a much admired conversation starter. Please PM me with interest or questions!
