Dear ,
Thank you for your email.
I did send off the free magazine to you, so I am sorry it hasn't reached you. As for your other queries, I will look into them and get back to you next week. The reason I say next week is because we are stocktaking and the people I need to question are all flat out!!
I will be in touch next week.
Many thanks

Subject: Thunkida-thunkida....Kiwi thunks...
I bought my Kiwi from the woolery.com (
From what I can tell...it is the first treddle rod and it seems to be knocking around quite a bit against the metal rod (the treddle rod in the back, closest to the main stem). I dunno what to call all these parts as the assembly guide is purely graphic!!
I've tried moving the peddles up on the plastic tube thingies to increase the tension so the rod does not thunkida, but it still happens and it is driving me mad! Any suggestions?
BOOP!
I saw a glimpse of spring...then it morphed into summer!;

"If dandelions were rare and fragile, people would knock themselves out to pay $14.95 a plant,
raise them by hand in greenhouses, and form dandelion societies and all that.
But, they are everywhere and don't need us and kind of do what they please.
So we call them weeds and murder them at every opportunity"

Well I guess "next week" never came over there.
SOooooooo, my next wheel WILL NOT BE AN ASHFORD because of this. Too bad, so sad. I am definately getting a Louet S10 when I can. I am very dissapointed with Ashford customer assistance and will take my hard earned money elsewhere.
Not only that, but a year ago when I sent in the registration card, there was a box on there to recieve a free issue of "The Wheel" publication. I have STILL not recieved that even though I have been told the three times I have inquired about it, that they would send me one. Obviously that registration card has not done me a bit of good. Thanks so much for nothing, Ashford.
Until next time...
I started out with a "Joy",, 2nd wheel is a Lendrum and the best wheel I could have ever gotten. I love it! Ever try one? For the money on a complete package,, best money ever spent!
ReplyDeleteLendrum are too rich for me and I don't like how the wheel leans in like it does on their cheaper model. I think I have tried it once, didn't like it for some reason. I tried the Louet s10 over at Susans Fiber Shop and I love how quite and smooth it is! I only wish it didn't have hooks on the flyer because yarn tends to get caught on the hooks that the Kiwi has. I like the brand that has that single squeeze and move yarn guide-whomever they be.
ReplyDeleteWell if you can swing it, thats what Woolee Winders are for! Worth it. worth it worth it!
