Feed-n-Wax

On By CarynIn Craft

I’ve posted before about Howard Feed-n-Wax and how much I love it for the ease of use and beauty it imparts to wood. Here is another testimonial with my Befra Willy Spinning Wheel.

I did replace the hooks on the flyer assembly as well. They weren’t broken, but I have an idea about how to wind the spun yarn more smoothly and larger hooks may help. More on that later.
