I just made contact with a lady who buys, repairs and sells used spinning wheels and shears sheep down in California. She has luster longwool breeds and also sells fiber! And she knew Donald Smith of Sodium Oaks fame (this is the herd my bloodlines were based on when I had dairy goats) personally!

I get to meet her in person next weekend. It sounds like she has a variety of spinning wheels available. I'm so excited and happy about this! :-)
