Alison thinks of the previous spinners who had hard lives when she works on her new wheel. Her life is a good one and she gets a great deal of pleasure from spinning. The original spinners worked for a living. She bought the wheel in Scotland second hand. It became such an obsession she now gets up at 4am to complete some work. She also now keeps sheep for the fleece. Spinning is now very fashionable.
