Bit of a different post, but I have this tiny spinningwheel:
It was made by my great grand uncle, but has since lost its flyer and bobbins. The space in between the leather pieces is 7 centimetres. Does anyone know a place that makes such size flyers and bobbins?
I would love to make this spinningwheel complete again, as it is an amazing piece of skill made by a very talented ancester of mine (who also made one of my normal size spinningwheels). Here is the wheel compared to a piece of a4 paper:
Please let me know! Thank you!

It time again for Fossil Fibers' spin-along-knit-along Fall Festival! Last year I used it as an excuse to finally knit Pin-kin, but I knew what this orange needed to be back then too!
Feel free to guess what this pumpkin is gonna be :3

I did my reenactment and demo table stuff this weekend and well.... had a patron that needed help.
Ellowen, one of my guild members, : Ev! Come here, she needs help figuring out what she might need to do to get her spinning wheel working. She can't get the wheel to uptake the yarn.
Me to patron: Well, it might be a brake line issue or a drive band issue. What brand of wheel is it?
Patron: 😅 I don't know.... I just recently bought it from Facebook Marketplace
Me: what's the style then? Do you have a picture?
Patron: no, I keep meaning to take one but keep forgetting to....oh, I can probably draw it! (Patron draws picture below)
Me: oh! That's a Louët. So your issue is that they are a Scotch tension wheel which needs to be fed the yarn as you go and .... (more spinning wheel shop talk)
*Later*
Me: ..... I might be a little deranged being able to identify the wheel off of this drawing with a single glance.....

I get the question sometimes if I don't think that the eye of the Louet Victoria is too low. Don't I have to sit all bent over to spin on her?... Nope. I love it. Means I can sit slouched back in the couch and spin while I watch whatever. Tori's the perfect size and everything. She've handled anything I've thrown at her with ease. She just goes. (Maybe her big sister, Viola, my antigue wheel that's still a dang workhorse, inspire her. What do I know.) And can we all just appreciate the colors of this wool? Hand-dyed bfl and nylon from the brilliant @garnbyran. #spinning #spinnersofinstagram #spinningwool #wool #woolomancy #louetvictoria #spinningwheel https://www.instagram.com/p/CoMjR3EIiHV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Looks like it’s time for a new drive band on my wheel. What color should I use this time? #spinnersofinstagram #spinningwheel #colors #witchesofinstagram #druidsofinstagram #druidry #gaydruid https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn7Gp03ORQl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Second finished spinning on my new ashford. The lightest color of this gradient is a hot mess. I started spinning it 2(?) years ago on my nano and then we started fighting each other and I walked away. But the rest is a pretty consistent chain ply. Glad to have finally finished spinning it! It’s giving me Frozen vibes… 🥶 #handspun #handspunyarn #spinningwheel #ashford #ashfordespinner #ashfordespinner3 #yarn #homespun #knit #knitting https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm6y91MrH6q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

For 12 years I have hated original yarn hooks on my LadyBug. I tried glueing them… nothing kept them from spinning around. So I drilled out the holes and put in stainless cup holder hooks. Now I am much happier! 😁 #spin2knit #handspunyarn #spinningwheel #ladybug🐞 #schacht❤️ #chicoca #chicocalifornia (at Chico, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfkVuRKvnoK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
