This is why having numerous wheels is advantageous. And, since I was after plying, I was OK with Rosie being out of service, as I usually plied on Lucy. You are aware of her Woolee Winder benefit. As a result, I sat down and began plying. Zipped along quickly and filled a whole bobbin. When I switched bobbins, the tension rope snapped. I refilled it with some sugar and cream and resumed plying. It was at this point that I realized the wheel was wobbling. Hmmm. I'm curious as to when that began. Then I observed the wheel wobble intensifying, and eventually the whole thing came apart. It seems as if the item (washer? bolt? nut? Anyone with a Lendrum even know what I'm talking about?) that connects the upright and the wheel had come off. Gone.
