Needle sizing tip...
I had a lot of difficulty figuring out the right needle size for a ball of yarn that had lost its band label. So I started looking for ways to make it easier before actually beginning a project and having to break it up or have trouble with the needle an yarn altogether ( if the needle was too small it would puncture the yarn and if it was too large the stitches would come out really nasty). And I think I've found at least one way to do this...

Hey! Thanks for comment on my yarn and wheel! I posted a reply there but wanted to reply here, too, to make sure you got it.
I got the wheel from ford4him.etsy.com. She's very nice... and her wheels are even nicer. They are greatly priced (mine at just over $200 which included an extra flyer) and great quality for a beginning wheel! I got mine in November and started spinning then. :)
Hope that helps!
