I need a name for my new spinning wheel. I’ve been going back and forth between Marty McFlier and Whirly Temple. Thoughts?

#showmeyourknits double dip. The Night Shift shawl by Andrea Mowry is one I’ve knit twice. It’s such a good stash buster and, yes. The orange cat helped with both. 😺

Saw this Saxony style spinning wheel in an antique shop. It appears to be missing a drive band. I’d love to have a spinning wheel and the price is good. What do you think, #knitsky ? What should I look out for?
