"EWEnique" is a double treadle spinning wheel built in 2009.  She is made mostly of maple and birch plywood and covered in part with tanned, sheered fleece.  Her tail wags happily when she is spinning fiber.   The fiber goes into one ear and comes out as yarn on a bobbin. The flyer ratio is fixed at 7:1.   A small window in her rump permits the curious to view her internal system of pulleys, levers, cams, flywheels and bearings.  She is owned by Franny Junge (Anchorage, Alaska) and was designed and constructed by David Junge.  Franny's daughter, Amy Olmstead, did the painting.

She is beautiful!  I'm in awe.  Is she on rollers so you can take her to guild meetings?  Jennifer in NV

She is the sweetest thing that I have seen in a long time. What an honor to own a wheel like her.

Any plans to market her design directions so we can make her some more family members?

Absolutely love this wheel. I wish I had one just as cute.

That's a hoot!  Love it-LOVE it!  Is it just a "ewenique" one-of-a-kind, or can a spinner buy one?

This spinning wheel is a trip!  I wonder how many this David Junge built.  It's beautiful the way Amy Olmstead painted it.  Such a cute idea for an outrageous looking spinning wheel.
