Thanks so much for this! I just picked up a Wee Peggy at the QSWFA open day and it’s been really helpful as she needs a new retaining pin (which is a thing I didn’t even know existed) and I can see how to set her up for scotch tension. At the moment I’m still very much in the drop stage of spindling and my main interaction with the wheel is applying polish 🙂

thankyou very much my mother just bought a wee Peggy and I have one coming soon that is missing its flyer. I am hoping I could find out some information on flyers that may fit my little girl to get her up and running could you possibly point me in the right direction?

Hi Raelene, I would suggest you join the Ravelry Wee Peggy and Little Peggy Forum and post a question or two. http://www.ravelry.com/groups/wee-peggy–little-peggy-spinners. You could also join the Facebook group Australian Handspinners and Knitters and ask questions to. There are over 3,000 members and I’m sure a number of them would have a Wee Peggy spinning wheel. Hope this helps you 🙂

Thankyou for you suggestions I may join the wee peggy forum. I am already a member of the spinners and weavers site and have had no luck from that end. On the up side I contacted Ashford as they did originally take over the wee peggys and they seem to think their current double flyers may fit. When I go to spinning club next month I will definitely be checking out the other girls Ashford wheels to test this theory.

Hello I’m Marla and I live in Gifford,Illinois USA .I have an original Wee Peggy .It was my first spinning wheel back in 1985 and I have been spinning since. I belong to 3 spinning groups and am wanting to start my own group. I found out the difference between a Wee Peggy and a Little Peggy is that Little has 8 spokes in the wheel and a wee has only 6

Hi Marla, another difference is the Wee Peggy does not have a front maiden as it was created to be a kit form to send around the world. The Little Peggy does have a front maiden 🙂

Hi Marla, I paid AU$190 for my Little Peggy. I would suggest you look on Ebay plus any other online auction sites in the US. You can also ask a question on the Ravelry forum http://www.ravelry.com/groups/wee-peggy–little-peggy-spinners

Another thing , my mom also has a Wee Peggy and her bobbins have a rounded end where you can use either end of my bobbins . I like that way better. When filling your bobbin it doesn’t slide off that end and wrap around the end. How long have you been spinning Mel?

Hi Marla, I’ve only been spinning since around 2013 so not long at all. But I must admit the more I spin and the better I get, the more I want to spin!

Well ok thank you. So what is your favorite fiber to spin and which spinning Wheel do you like to spin on ? Mine of course is the Wee Peggy but I do also have a Joy and an ashford saxony and and another saxony that my grandfather made for my mom that I inherited when my mom passed.

I love merino and cashmere and one of my favourite wheels is the Sickinger Kitty which is a little upright wheel. I have 19 wheels so it’s a bit hard to pick a favourite 🙂
