This is an example of the Big Mecchia spinning wheel made in Hamilton dating back to the 1980s. It is in mint condition and spins beautifully as this video attests: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gcFiSz5K3_qa4LVGI0AH-ESsiMX_mLod?usp=sharing Apart from spinning most efficiently, they are the most beautiful piece of furniture and one takes pride of place in our lounge. It is one of my favourite wheels ever and I have spun several tens of kilograms of fleece on my wheel. They are large and heavy and therefore not suitable for carting around to workshops et cetera and should be regarded as a studio wheel. The large wheel with good inertia means that treadling is a breeze and this therefore is an easy wheel to learn to spin on. It comes with all bobbins, both of the inbuilt threading hooks at the tops of the maidens. No parts are missing and all in good condition Pickup is best (free) but I am willing to drop this off to a depot of your choice in Hamilton for a $5 handling fee. Please arrange your own shipping with a carrier of your choice. Wise Move (https://www.wisemove.co.nz/) is an excellent place to start. Wait for a few quotes to come in before you make your choice. Pack and Send are also very good - they pack extremely well for safety and ship quickly but they are probably a bit more expensive.
